WHAT IS IONISATION ENERGY?WHAT IS IONISATION ENERGY?
Ionisation Energy is a measure of the amount of energy needed to remove electrons from atoms.
As electrons are negatively charged and protons in the nucleus are positively charged, there will be an attraction between them. The greater the pull of the nucleus, the harder it will be to pull an electron away from an atom.

WHAT AFFECTS IONISATION ENERGY?WHAT AFFECTS IONISATION ENERGY?
The value of the 1st Ionisation Energy depends on the electronic structure
Hydrogen Helium Lithium
The value for helium is higher than that for hydrogen because there are now two protons in the nucleus. The nuclear charge is greater so the pull on the outer electrons is larger. More energy will be needed to pull an electron out of the atom.

Hydrogen Helium Lithium
The value for helium is higher than that for hydrogen because there are now two protons in the nucleus. The nuclear charge is greater so the pull on the outer electrons is larger. More energy will be needed to pull an electron out of the atom.
Lithium atoms have 3 protons so you would expect the pull on electrons to be greater. However, the 1st Ionisation Energy of lithium is lower than that of helium because…
• Filled inner shells exert a SHIELDING EFFECTSHIELDING EFFECT;; lowers the effective nuclear pull
• FURTHER AWAYFURTHER AWAY from the nucleus = lower nuclear attraction for an electron

1st Ionisation Energy values show a periodic trend. There is a ‘general increase’ across a period before the value drops dramatically for the start of another period.
The values get smaller down groups as the electron removed comes from an orbital further from the nucleus - there is more shielding.

There is a substantial drop in the value for Lithium. This is because the extra electron has gone into an orbital in the next energy level. Despite the increased nuclear charge, the effective nuclear charge is less because of the shielding effect of filled inner 1s energy level. The 2s electron is also further away from the nucleus. It is held less strongly and needs less energy for removal.

There is a DROPDROP in the value for Boron. This is because the extra electron has gone into one of the 2p orbitals. The increased shielding makes the electron easier to remove
It was evidence such as this that confirmed the existence of sub-shells. If there hadn’t been any sub-shell, the value would have been higher than that of Beryllium.

EXPLANATION
The value increases again for Carbon due to the increased nuclear charge.
The extra electron does not pair up with the previous one in the same orbital but occupies another of the 2p orbitals. This gives a lower energy configuration because there is less repulsion between the negatively charged particles. This is known as Hund’s Rule.

Successive Ionisation Energies
Atoms with more than one electron can have them successively removed.
2nd I.E. The energy required to remove one mole of electrons (to infinity) from one moleof gaseous unipositive ions to form one mole of gaseous dipositive ions.
e.g. Na+(g) Na2+(g) + e-
Al+(g) Al2+(g) + e-
Trends Successive ionisation energies are always greater than the previous one
Reason :- the electron is being pulled away from a more positive species
Large increases occur when there is a change of shell
Reason :- there is a big decrease in shielding
Large increases can be used to predict the group of an unknown element

Successive Ionisation Energies of Calcium

CLICK HERE FOR THE ANSWER
QUESTION TIME
Ans The 3rd I.E. of magnesium
EXPLANATION
The 3rd I.E. of aluminium involves the following change...
Al2+(g) Al3+(g)
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 1s2 2s2 2p6
The 3rd I.E. of magnesium involves the following change…
Mg2+(g) Mg3+(g)
1s2 2s2 2p6 1s2 2s2 2p5
Despite magnesium having 12 protons in its nucleus and aluminium having 13, more energy is required to remove the third electron from magnesium. This is because the electron being removed is coming from an orbital closer to the nucleus. There is less shielding and therefore a greater effective nuclear charge. The electron is thus held more strongly.
Q.2
Which has the higher value, the 3rd I.E. of aluminium or the 3rd I.E. of magnesium?Q.1Q.1
QUESTION TIME
Ans The 2nd I.E. of magnesium
EXPLANATION
The 1st I.E. of sodium involves the following change
Na(g) Na+(g)
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 1s2 2s2 2p6
The 2nd I.E. of magnesium involves the same change in electron configuration…
Mg+(g) Mg2+(g)
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 1s2 2s2 2p6
However, magnesium has 12 protons in its nucleus, whereas sodium only has 11. The greater nuclear charge means that the electron being removed is held more strongly and more energy must be put in to remove it.
