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.

How do ionisation energies show periodicity?
Period number increases, shells increases, making distance from nucleus and shielding increase, resulting in lower ionisation energy.
