Periodic Trend: Successive Ionization Energies definitions Flashcards

Energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom, forming a positively charged ion.

Energy needed to remove additional electrons one at a time from an atom, increasing with each electron removed.

Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, typically involved in forming bonds.

Electrons located in inner shells of an atom, requiring significantly more energy to remove.

Stable electron arrangement resembling that of noble gases, often achieved by losing or gaining electrons.

Element in Group 1A, experiences a large ionization energy increase after losing its first electron.

Element in Group 2A, shows a significant ionization energy increase after losing two electrons.

Element that becomes more positively charged with each electron removed, requiring more energy.

Element that would experience a large ionization energy increase after losing six electrons.

Having the same number of electrons or the same electronic structure as another atom or ion.

Process of taking away electrons from an atom, increasing its positive charge and ionization energy.

Significant increase in ionization energy when removing inner core electrons after valence electrons.
