Ionisation Energy

?
Define ionisation energy
Energy required to remove 1 electron from each atom in 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions.

3 Factors influencing ionisation energy
1) CHARGE OF NUCLEUS 2) DISTANCE FROM NUCLEUS 3) SHIELDING
2 of 6
1) Charge of Nucleus - Explain
More p in nucleus, higher electrostatic force between e- and nucleus, meaning higher ionisation energy.
3 of 6
2) Distance from nucleus- Explain
Farther away, less attraction felt by e- to nucleus, meaning lower ionisation energy
4 of 6
3) Shielding - Explain
More inner shell e- will block the attraction force from the nucleus to the outermost electrons. More shielding, less attraction, therefore lower ionisation energy.
5 of 6
How do ionisation energies show periodicity?
Period number increases, shells increases, making distance from nucleus and shielding increase, resulting in lower ionisation energy.
