Factors affecting Ionization Energy

by

The ionization energy depends upon the following factors: A) Size of the atom The ionization energy depends on the distance between the electron and the nucleus i.e., size of the atom. The attractive force between the electron and the nucleus is inversely proportional to the distance between them. Consequently, as the size of the atom … Read more
