Which of the following statements about ionization energy is true


Asked by maham237 @ in Chemistry viewed by 370 People


A. Ionization energy is the amount of energy used to add an electron to an atom.
B. Elements toward the bottom of a group periodic table generally have higher ionization energies than elements at the top of the group.
C. In a period, elements farther to the right generally have lower ionization energies than elements on the left.
D. Potassium has a lower ionization energy than sodium.

D. Potassium has a lower ionization energy than sodium

Ionization energy = amount of energy it takes for an atom to LOSE an electron (so A is proven wrong already)

Why B and C are wrong: Ionization energy increases the closer the electrons are to the nucleus, so ionization energy increases as you go up and to the right on your periodic table. I remember that Fluorine (top right element on periodic table that is not a noble gas, those guys are weird) has the highest ionization energy.
