2.Common names of different compounds 3.Research the remarkable contributions in the field of chemistry 4.Differentiate: Ionization Energy, Electron Negativity and Electron Affinity a. Ionization Energy The energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or iron. Ionization energy generally decreases down a group since the outer electron is farther from the nucleus as the number of energy level increases. Ionization energy increases across a period due to increased nuclear charge and smaller size, allowing a greater
b. Electron Negativity Measure of the ability of an atom in a compound to attract electrons. Electronegativity decreases as you move down a group. The distance between nucleus and electrons
