higher ionization energy
outermost electron is closer to nucleus/lower energy level Fa is greater more energy is required to remove the electron
higher atomic radius
less protons Fa is lower less energy is needed to remove the electron
Li outermost electron is in a lower energy level outermost electron is closer to nucleus Fa is greater more energy is required to remove the electron
Which has a higher ionization energy, Li or Na? And why?
Na more energy levels higher energy levels are further from the nucleus Fa is less
Which has a larger atomic radius? Li or Na? And why?
B less protons Fa is lower less energy needed to remove outermost electron
Which has a lower ionization energy? B or F? Why?
F more protons Fa is greater outermost electron is closer to nucleus
Which has a lower radius? B or F? Why?
ionization energy
depends on distance between outermost electron and nucleus less Fa=lower energy outermost electron is closer=higher energy
atomic radius
depends on the amount of protons
when energy levels are the same, rely on protons less Fa=higher atomic radius outermost electron is closer=higher
