factors
affecting energy
·
first electron lost will be the
highest energy level and
will experience the least attraction from the nucleus
factors
affecting this :

·
Atomic radius -
The distance between the
greater
nucleus and the outer electrons the less the nuclear
,

attraction
Nuclear
charge The more protons there are in the
-

nucleus of the atom the the attraction


the
greater
the outer
,

between nucleus and electrons


·
Electron
sheilding/electrons are
negatively charged
and so inner-shell electrons repel outer-shell electrons)
-
The repulsion called the
shelding
affect reduces the
attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons

Successive conisation energies

predictions that can be made :
