Examination of the first few successive ionization energies for a given element usually
Chapter 8, Problem 36(choose chapter or problem)
Examination of the first few successive ionization energies for a given element usually reveals a large jump between two ionization energies. For example, the successive ionization energies of magnesium show a large jump between IE2 and IE3. The successive ionization energies of aluminum show a large jump between IE3 and IE4. Explain why these jumps occur and how you might predict them
