The measure of energy needed to remove electrons one by one in the gaseous state
1 of 6
What is ionisation energy measured in?
kJ mol-1
2 of 6
Which electron would you remove first?
The outer electron from the outermost energy level
3 of 6
Does the second electron removed need more or less energy than the first and why?
More energy as the electrons are getting closer to the proton's positive attraction so needs larger energy to remvoe it,
4 of 6
What is the trend in the periodic table for first ionisation energies and why?
Ionisation energies generally increase across a period becuase the nucleur charge is increasing and this makes it more difficult to remvoe an electron,

AS we go down group 2, describe the first ionisation energies?
They decrease as the oputer electrons is in a main level that gets further away from the nucleus in each case,
