WHAT IS IONISATION ENERGY?WHAT IS IONISATION ENERGY?
Ionisation Energy is a measure of the amount of energy needed to remove electrons from atoms.
As electrons are negatively charged and protons in the nucleus are positively charged, there will be an attraction between them. The greater the pull of the nucleus, the harder it will be to pull an electron away from an atom.

WHAT AFFECTS IONISATION ENERGY?WHAT AFFECTS IONISATION ENERGY?
The value of the 1st Ionisation Energy depends on the electronic structure
Hydrogen Helium Lithium
The value for helium is higher than that for hydrogen because atomic radius decreases as nuclear charge increases so attraction between nucleus and the outermost electron increases also as electrons are added to the same shell, there is not much shielding effect

Hydrogen Helium Lithium
The value for helium is higher than that for hydrogen because atomic radius decreases as nuclear charge increases so attraction between nucleus and the outermost electron increases also as electrons are added to the same shell, there is not much shielding effect.
Lithium atoms have 3 protons so you would expect the pull on electrons to be greater. However, the 1st Ionisation Energy of lithium is lower than that of helium because…
• Filled inner shells exert a SHIELDING EFFECTSHIELDING EFFECT;; atomic radius increases and as there are more shells in lithium than helium so attraction between nucleus and outer most electron decreases
519 kJ mol-1
1310 kJ mol-1 2370 kJ mol-1
Helium has the most highest 1st ionization energy as :
Electron removed is closest / close to thenucleus
Little shielding
higher nuclear charge than hydrogen as more protons
Helium
2370 kJ mol-1
Ionisation energy down the groupIonisation energy down the group
First ionization energy decreases gradually down the group 1 as :
Shielding effect increases down the group as atomic radius increases as more shells are added to the atoms down the group
So less energy required to remove electron from outermost shell

There is a substantial drop in the value for Lithium. This is because the extra electron has gone into an orbital in the next energy level. Despite the increased nuclear charge, the effective nuclear charge is less because of the shielding effect of filled inner 1s energy level. The 2s electron is also further away from the nucleus. It is held less strongly and needs less energy for removal.

There is a DROPDROP in the value for Boron (and Aluminium) This is because the extra electron has gone into one of the 2p orbitals. The increased shielding makes the electron easier to remove
It was evidence such as this that confirmed the existence of sub-shells. If there hadn’t been any sub-shell, the value would have been higher than that of Beryllium.

EXPLANATION
The value increases again for Carbon due to the increased nuclear charge.
The extra electron does not pair up with the previous one in the same orbital but occupies another of the 2p orbitals. This gives a lower energy configuration because there is less repulsion between the negatively charged particles. This is known as Hund’s Rule.

Successive Ionisation Energies
Atoms with more than one electron can have them successively removed.
2nd I.E. The energy required to remove one mole of electrons (to infinity) from one moleof gaseous unipositive ions to form one mole of gaseous dipositive ions.
e.g. Na+(g) Na2+(g) + e-
Al+(g) Al2+(g) + e-
Trends Successive ionisation energies are always greater than the previous one
Reason :- the electron is being pulled away from a more positive species
Large increases occur when there is a change of shell
Reason :- there is a big decrease in shielding
Large increases can be used to predict the group of an unknown element

QUESTION TIME
Ans The 3rd I.E. of magnesium
EXPLANATION
The 3rd I.E. of aluminium involves the following change...
Al2+(g) Al3+(g)
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 1s2 2s2 2p6
The 3rd I.E. of magnesium involves the following change…
Mg2+(g) Mg3+(g)
1s2 2s2 2p6 1s2 2s2 2p5
Despite magnesium having 12 protons in its nucleus and aluminium having 13, more energy is required to remove the third electron from magnesium. This is because the electron being removed is coming from an orbital closer to the nucleus. There is less shielding and therefore a greater effective nuclear charge. The electron is thus held more strongly.
Which has the higher value, the 3rd I.E. of aluminium or the 3rd I.E. of magnesium?Q.1Q.1
QUESTION TIME
Ans The 2nd I.E. of magnesium
EXPLANATION
The 1st I.E. of sodium involves the following change
Na(g) Na+(g)
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 1s2 2s2 2p6
The 2nd I.E. of magnesium involves the same change in electron configuration…
Mg+(g) Mg2+(g)
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 1s2 2s2 2p6
However, magnesium has 12 protons in its nucleus, whereas sodium only has 11. The greater nuclear charge means that the electron being removed is held more strongly and more energy must be put in to remove it.
Which has the higher value, the 1st I.E. of sodium or the 2nd I.E. of magnesium?Q.2Q.2
Defining first electron affinityThe first electron affinity is the energy released when 1 mole of gaseous atoms each acquire an electron to form 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions.This is more easily seen in symbol terms.
ELECTRON AFFINITY
First electron affinities have negative values (exothermic). For example, the first electron affinity of chlorine is -349 kJ mol-1. By convention, the negative sign shows a release of energy.
F -328 kJ mol-1
Cl -349 kJ mol-1
Br -324 kJ mol-1
I -295 kJ mol-1
The first electron affinities of the group 7 elements
The first electron affinities of the group 7 elements
Second electron affinity
The second electron affinity is the energy required to add an electron to each ion in 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions to produce 1 mole of gaseous 2- ions.This is more easily seen in symbol terms. You are forcing an electron into an already negative ion. It's not going to go in willingly ! To overcome repulsion you need energy
The positive sign shows that you have to put in energy to perform this change. The second electron affinity of oxygen is particularly high because the electron is being forced into a small, very electron-dense space.
In electron affinity, electron is added to outer orbit of the atom. As electron is negatively charged and brought towards positively charged nucleus , energy is released..
More shells means less electron affinity, as election affinity is exothermic if more shells are there, the electron affinity becomes more endothermic because of shielding effect and electron is added further to the nucleus
Trends in Electron Affinity
Electron affinities become less negative / lessexothermic / more positive (going downGroup)
As (added) electron is further from thenucleusORMore shielding / shielded (from the nucleus)
Electron affinity decreases or increases across a period depending on electronic configuration.
This occurs because of the same subshell rule that governs ionization energies.Example:
Since a half-filled "p" subshell is more stable, carbon has a greater affinity for an electron than nitrogen.Obviously, the halogens, which are one electron away from a noble gas electron configuration, have high affinities for electrons:
Nitrogen has less electron affinity because electron is added to already singly occupied 2p subshell , therefore experiece a considerable repulstion and less energy is released
