What is ionization energy?

Back

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its gaseous state.

What is the trend for ionization energy across a period and down a group?

Back

Across a period (left to right) it increases and down a group it decreases.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons from another atom.

Front

What are alkali metals?

Back

Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table, known for being highly reactive and having one electron in their outermost shell.

Front

What is the atomic radius?

Back

The atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost shell of electrons.
