WEEK OF 4/4 – 4/8 NOTES IONIZATION ENERGY Ionization Energy – closely related to effective nuclear charge, energy when one mol of electron is removed by a gas, forming a cation - INCREASES across a period - DECREASES down a group o Because of shielding on the outer e-, more shielding means easier to pluck an electron off IE1 < IE2
