The order  of  ionization energies  from  the highest  to smallest is as below

Chlorine -1 ( highest)

phosphorus -2

magnesium-3

sodium-4 (smallest)

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  • sodium, magnesium,phosphorus  and chlorine are in period  three in periodic table.

  • The trend of ionization energy across period 3 is that it increases across the period <em>( from the left to the right).</em>

  • The ionization energy increases  across the period 3 because  there are more protons  in each nucleus  which led to increase in nuclear  charge across the period<em>. ( from left to the right)</em>

  • This led to increase  in force  of attraction between nucleus and outer  electron<em>.( from the left to the right)</em>

  •  among the four element  given above from the left  of period 3  , Sodium is 1st element  followed  by magnesium, then phosphorus and then  chlorine.

  • Therefore since sodium is in left side it has the smallest ionization energy while chlorine has the highest ionization energy  since is is located at the fur right  of period  3.

electron affinity of lithium is -60 whereas of cesium is -45.this trend is due to... plz give me accurate answer
lesya692 [45]
Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion. In other words, the neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron.


Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Caesium is 45.5 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol. Electronegativity of Lithium is 0.98. ... Electron affinities are more difficult to measure than ionization energies. An atom of Lithium in the gas phase, for example, gives off energy when it gains an electron to form an ion of Lithium.

Trends

The ionization energy of the elements within a period generally increases from left to right. This is due to valence shell stability.

The ionization energy of the elements within a group generally decreases from top to bottom. This is due to electron shielding.

The noble gases possess very high ionisation energies because of their full valence shells as indicated in the graph. Note that helium has the highest ionization energy of all the elements.
