ANOMALIES OF IONIZATION ENERGY IN

THE PERIODIC TABLE
Posted by Oclev Tv on May 29, 2017
Ionization energy which is also known as ionization

potential is the energy needed or required to remove
an electron from a gaseous atom in its ground state.it
is measured in electron volt (eV) or in joules i.e.
Atom + IP (energy) → unipositive ion + electron

Ionization energy is inversely proportional to the

atomic radius as: NO THANKS ALLOW

In this section we are only concerned about the period

in the periodic table, because there is no anomaly in
terms of ionization energy down the group.
The basic factors that affects ionization energy of an
atom includes;
The distance of the outermost electron from the

nucleus
The size of the positive nuclear charge; and
the screening effect of the inner electron

variation in ionization energy with atomic number for

the rst twenty elements
It has been observed that atomic radius affects

ionization energy of atoms in the periodic table.
Ionization energy increases across a period due to

decrease in atomic radius in going across the period.
This decrease in atomic radius is as a result of
addition of electron to the same shell as you go
across the period, this addition increases the size of
the nuclear charge and thereby increases the force of
attraction between the nucleus and outermost
electron, which will then cause a decrease in the size
of the atom.
therefore, a very large amount of energy is needed to

remove electron from elements as you go across the
period. However, there are some anomalies. The
explanation of the observed anomalies in the trend of
ionization energy within the period are as follow;

Berylium and Boron
NO THANKS ALLOW
Berylium

Boron
If you look more closely at the gure above, we notice

that there is a decrease in ionization energy as you go
from berylium to boron. originally, the ionization
energy of boron is suppose to be higher than berylium,
but reverse is the case. Observing the electronic
con guration of berylium and boron above, you will
observe that all the subshell in berylium are lled, but
the 2p subshell of boron contains only one electron.
just as lled electron shell are associated with extra
stability,there is also some extra energetic stability
associated with completely lled subshel. This means
that the electronic con guration of berylium is more
stable than that of boron and thereby has a higher

ionization energy. news and updates.

Nitrogen and Oxygen
Nitrogen

Oxygen

a similar case also occur as we move from nitrogen to
oxygen. In nitrogen, the p-orbital are half lled and this
conferred more stability on the electrons, hence more
energy (i.e. high ionization energy) will be required to
remove one of them. hence, the ionization energy of
nitrogen is higher than that of oxygen as shown in the
electronic con guration above.
Other anomalies are between;
Magnesium and Aluminium

phosphorus and sulphur

news and updates.
NOTE: Ionization energy decreases down the group
due to increase in atomic radius. because as you go

down the group more shells are added and the ALLOW
distance of the nucleus and the outer electron

increases. This increase reduces the force of
attraction, so little amount of energy is needed to
remove one of the electrons.
