Explain the variation of ionization energy in a group and period |
|
Answer» Moving left to right WITHIN a period or upward within a group, the FIRST ionization energy generally increases.Conversely, as one progresses down a group on the periodic table, the ionization energy will likely DECREASE since the valence electrons are farther away from the nucleus and experience GREATER shielding. |
