NGSS.HS-PS1-2

Select all that explain the ionization energy trend within periods

• electrons are closer to the nucleus

• their is a weak pull between electrons from the nucleus, making them easily moveable

• feel more of a pull from nucleus, making them harder to move

• electrons are further from the nucleus

NGSS.HS-PS1-2

Explain why ionization energy decreases as you go down a group.

• Outer electrons are further away from the nucleus you go down a group

• Electrons feel less pull from the nucleus as you go down a group

• Electrons are easier to remove as you go down a group

• All of the above

What is Ionization energy?
