e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- 6p e- e- e- e- e- e- 3p 4p 5p e- e- e- e- C Li Be B Ionization Energy • The amount of energy that is needed to remove an electron from an atom is called ionization energy. • When an atom absorbs ionization energy, the atom will lose its most loosely held electron – a valence electron. • Ionization energy generallyincreases across a period because, in general, the valance electrons are held morestrongly by the nucleus . 520 kJ/mol 900 kJ/mol 801 kJ/mol 1086 kJ/mol
