Questions and Answers

What is ionization energy?

  • The energy released when an electron is added to an atom
  • The energy required to add an electron to an atom
  • The energy required to move an electron from one orbital to another in the same atom
  • The minimum energy required to remove the outermost electron in an atom (correct)
  • Why are valence electrons more easily removed compared to inner electrons?

  • They are larger in size
  • They have higher energy levels
  • They have a stronger attraction to the nucleus
  • They are furthest from the nucleus and are influenced the least by the positively charged nucleus (correct)
  • As more electrons are removed from an atom, what happens to the ionization energy?

  • It increases as the remaining electrons experience a stronger attraction to the nucleus (correct)
  • It decreases due to the reduced electron-electron repulsion
  • It becomes unpredictable and varies randomly
  • It remains constant regardless of the number of electrons removed
  • How is ionization energy measured?
