Answer:
These properties are basically the inverse of each other.
Explanation:
- Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract an electron and make it a part of its orbital.
Ionization enthalpy, is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom.
- More electronegative atoms have high ionization enthalpies If the energy required to remove an electron is less, i.e. the atom has more tendency to give electron, it would thus have less tendency to take electron.
- Values and tendency of electronegativity in the periodic table: In general, the electronegativity of a non‐metal is larger than that of metal. For the elements of one period the electronegativities increase from left to right across the periodic table. For the elements of one main group the electronegativities decrease from top to bottom across the periodic table. To the subgroup elements, there’s no regular rule.
- Values and tendency of ionization potential in the periodic table: The first ionization energy is the energy which is required when a gaseous atom/ion loses an electron to form a gaseous +1 valence ion. The energy which is required for a gaseous +1 valence ion to loose an electron to form a gaseous +2 valence ion, is called the second ionization energy of an element. In general, the second ionization energy is higher than the first ionization energy of an element.
The first ionization energies of the elements of one period increase from the left to the right across the periodic table. According to the elements of main group, the first ionization energies generally decreases from top to bottom across the periodic table.
Metal usually donates electrons. The concept behind this phenomenon is stability. The elements with the most stable electronic configuration are the noble gases in Group 5A. As a result, the other elements donate or accept electrons so that they would be like the noble gases. Since metals are past their nearest noble gas element, they have to shed their electrons. When they do, they become cations which are positively charged ions.
