Ionization Energy
« on: October 23, 2015, 09:39:31 PM »
Ionization Energy tends to increase from left to right on the periodic table. Using examples, explain why there is an exception when filling up p orbitals but not d orbitals.

Ionization energy is the energy required to take an electron from the outermost energy level of an isolated atom. What does that have to do with filling up orbitals?

Well... when you remove an electron you're basically doing the opposite of filling up an orbital. And some orbital configurations are kind of "special". For instance, look at the electron configuration of Cr or Cu. Are those what you'd expect?
