Atomic Structure and Periodicity · Atomic Structure

Ionisation Energy Trends

Analyzing successive and first ionisation energy data to deduce electronic structures and group positions.

Key Questions

  1. 1Why is there a significant jump in ionisation energy when an electron is removed from a new inner shell?
  2. 2How does the balance between nuclear attraction and inter-electronic repulsion determine atomic size?
  3. 3What evidence do ionisation energy patterns provide for the existence of subshells?
