Group 1 elements (usually called alkali metals) are not very electronegative and have small ionization energies due to that. The reason why they are not very electronegative is that they really want to loose their one valence electron so that they can have a noble gas electron configuration (completed octet).
I hope this helps.
Explanation:
the answer will be 98.4 kJ
Compounds. They both have more than one element in them
Answer:
Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between elements that are nonmetals. The ammonium ion, NH+4 , would have covalent bonds because both nitrogen and hydrogen are nonmetals. ... The rest of the bonds all contain electrons from both hydrogen and nitrogen, so they would be considered ordinary covalent bonds.
