QUESTION:

Explain how ionization energy and electron affinity determine whether atoms of elements will combine to form ionic compounds.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

We need to explain  how ionization energy and electron affinity determine whether atoms of elements will combine to form ionic compounds.

Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the outermost shell  of an isolated atom in its gaseous state.

Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an electron is added to an atom in its gaseous state to form an anion.
