Lesson: Ionization Energy Chemistry

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe and explain the ionization energy of elements and ions.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

explain and use the term ionization energy,
list the factors that influence the ionization energies of different elements,
explain the trends in ionization energies of different elements relative to their position in the periodic table,
analyze tables of successive ionization energy data to determine information about unknown elements.
