Periodic Trend: Ionization Energy definitions Flashcards

Energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion, resulting in a positive charge.

A process where energy is absorbed, such as removing an electron from an atom.

Energy associated with the position of an electron in an atom, related to ionization energy.

A pattern observed in the periodic table, such as the increase of ionization energy across a period.

Element with the highest ionization energy, located at the top right of the periodic table.

Element with the lowest ionization energy, located at the bottom left of the periodic table.

Subshells that are most stable when half-filled or fully filled, affecting ionization energy.

Subshells that are most stable when fully filled, influencing ionization energy trends.

Element with higher ionization energy than oxygen due to stable half-filled p orbitals.

Element with lower ionization energy than nitrogen, willing to lose an electron for stability.

Element with higher ionization energy than boron due to fully filled s orbitals.

Element with lower ionization energy than beryllium, benefits from losing an electron.

Elements with lower ionization energy than Group 5A due to electron configuration stability.

Elements with lower ionization energy than Group 2A, influenced by s orbital stability.

Arrangement of electrons in an atom, crucial for understanding ionization energy trends.
