Chrisha Mae Loria Ragunton & Kierby Rassel Tesado Golangayan (IONIZATION ENERGY)
• In 1913, Henry Moseley observed a direct relation between the X-ray spectrum
charge, and developed a system for assigning atomic numbers based on
increasing number of protons. This finding supported Mendeleev’s arrangement
of the elements, providing atomic numbers for the then undiscovered elements.
The Elements of the Periodic Table
✓The first ionization energy is the energy required to remove the first electron.
Mg(g)→Mg+(g)+e- I1=738kJ/mol(2)
✓The second ionization energy is that energy required to remove the second electron,
etc.
Mg+(g)→Mg2+(g)+e- I2=1451kJ/mol

First Ionization Energy
•Larger the effective nuclear charge on the electron, the more energy it takes
to remove it.
•The farther the most probable distance the electron is from the nucleus, the
less energy it takes to remove it.
▪️The charge on the nucleus: The more protons there are in the nucleus, the more positively
charged the nucleus is, and the more strongly electrons are attracted to it.
▪️The distance of the electron from the nucleus: Attraction falls off very rapidly with distance. An
electron close to the nucleus will be much more strongly attracted than one further away.
▪️The number of electrons between the outer electrons and the nucleus: Consider a sodium
atom, with the electronic structure 2,8,1. (There’s no reason why you can’t use this notation if it’s
useful!)
IRREGULARITIES IN THE TREND
•Ionization energy generally increase from left to right across a period
Except from 2A to 3A, 5A to 6A.
Element by itself=0
Group 1A: Always +1
Group 2A: Always +2
Halogens: Usually -1 but postive with oxygen
Monatomic ion=ion charge
Hydrogen(H): +1 with nonmetals
-1 with metals
Oxygen: usually -2
-1 in peroxide(H202)
Flourine(F): Always -1
Sum of ON’s for a neutral compound =0
Sum of ON’s for a polyatomic= Ion charge
