In going across a row of the periodic table, protons and electrons are added and ionization energy generally increases. In going

down a column of the periodic table, protons and electrons are also being added but ionization generally decreases. Explain.

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionization energy:

It is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the electron from isolated gaseous atom to make the ion.

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell.

When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.  Where as,

When we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

at standard pressure how do the boiling point and the freezing point of NaCl compare to the boiling point and freezing point of
Ede4ka [16]
Usually in this context you would be referring to the boiling and freezing point of a NaCl <em>solution</em> (saltwater) compared to pure H_{2}O. Sematics would be different for NaCl compound itself, you would say melting and boiling point for a solid substance- and the temperatures would be very, very radical (high). 
The boiling point of pure water is 100 degrees C (212 F), and the freezing/melting point is below 0 degrees C (32 F). For a salt water solution, the boiling point is raised and the melting point is lowered. This means that water will stay liquid for an increased range of temperature. Depending on the amount of NaCl solute in the water, the boiling and melting points may change a few degrees.
