  • Ionisation Energy
    • Energy required to remove 1 electron from each atom in 1 mole of gaseous atom
    • Factors affecting I.E
      • Distance from nucleus: I.E decreases as go down group, distance increases
      • Nuclear charge: I.E increases if charge increases, higher no. of protons, higher the charge
      • Shielding (repulsion) by electrons in inner shell's between nucleus and outer electron
    • Go down group
      • Atomic radius increases and more shielding
        • Less/weaker attractions from nucleus to electrons in outer shell
    • Go across period
      • Nuclear charge increases as more protons
      • Atomic radius decreases therefore stronger attraction from nucleus to electron in outer shell
    • Electron repulsion
      • Bonded pair of electrons in an orbital and 2 unpaired electrons
        • Therefore paired electrons would repel as like charges repel making it easier to take electrons away
          • No change in electron shielding
    • Increased shielding, longer distance from nucleus
      • Easier to remove electron and has larger distance from nucleus poisitve attraction
        • Because more orbitals in way of nucleus
    • Effective Nuclear Charge
      • Net charge on the nucleus, after allowing for the electrons in orbit around the nucleus shielding its full charge
        • Increases as go up gorup
        • Positive ions get smaller as take away electrons
        • Negative ions get larger as forces of attraction stay the same
        • Atomic radii decreases as go down group. Greater nuclear charge increases force of attraction on the electrons, drawing them closer to the nucleus
