  1. ionisation energy explanation and trends

  2. The first ionisation energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from one mole of gaseous atoms (to produce 1 mole of gaseous ions each with a charge of 1+).

  3. This is more easily seen in symbol terms. It is the energy needed to carry out this change per mole of X.

  4. Ionisation energies are measured in kJmol-1. 1st ionisation energies range from 381 kJmol-1 to 2370 kJmol-1. Q. Which element do you think has the highest 1st ionisation energy?

  5. First ionisation energies display periodicity.

  6. A number of factors can be used to explain an elements ionisation energy. • The charge on the nucleus. (ie the bigger the nuclear charge the more strongly the electrons are held.)

  7. The distance of the electron from the nucleus. (ie Attraction falls off very rapidly with distance. An electron close to the nucleus will be much more strongly attracted than one further away.)

  8. The number of electron between the outer electrons and the nucleus.(ie The pull of the protons is screened or shielded by each level of electrons between the nucleus and the outer electron.)

  9. Whether the electron is on its own in an orbital or paired with another electron. (ie Two electrons in the same orbital experience a bit of repulsion from each other. This offsets the attraction of the nucleus, so that paired electrons are removed rather more easily than you might expect. This will be explained later.)

  10. eg He 2370 kJ mol-1. Li 519 kJ mol-1

  11. The general trend is for ionisation energies to increase across a period.

  12. Be 1s22s2 1st I.E. = 900 kJ mol-1 B 1s22s22px1 1st I.E. = 799 kJ mol-1 Offsetting the fact that boron has one extra proton is the fact that its outer electron is in a 2p orbital rather than a 2s. 2p orbitals have a slightly higher energy than the 2s orbital, and the electron is, on average, further from the nucleus.ie more shielding ….at a greater dist.

  13. N 1s22s22px12py12pz1 1st I.E. = 1400 kJ mol-1 O 1s22s22px22py12pz1 1st I.E. = 1310 kJ mol-1 Screening due to inner electrons is identical. Oxygen’s electron comes from the 2px pair. The repulsion between the two electrons in the same orbital means that the electron is easier to remove than it would otherwise be.

  14. The general trend is for ionisation energies to decrease down a group.

  15. Every one of the transition metals loses its outer electron from the 4s orbital. The increase across the period is due to …increasing nuclear charge.
