The first ionization energy of nitrogen is 1402 kJ/mol while the first ionization energy of oxygen (the element directly to the right of nitrogen) is 1314 kJ/mol. This goes against the general trend of first ionization energy increasing from left to right across the periodic table. Using your own words, explain why this is so.

The graph below shows the first ionization energies for the elements of the second period. While the general trend is that ionization energy increases when going from left to right of the period, neither B nor O follow this trend. Explain why the first ionization energies for B and O are less than Be and N, respectively. 1st lonisation Energy for Perlod 2 2200 Ne 2000 1800 1600 1400 1200 1000 Be 800 600 Li 400 200 3 4 5 6 7 8 Atomic number 9 10 1st IE in kJ/mol

What's the electron configuration of Magnesium and why this element is essential for our planet?
Two sets of ionizations are shown in the tables below. Complete the tables by ordering each set of ionizations by increasing amount of energy required. In other words, for each set choose "1" next to the ionization that would require the least energy, "2" next to the ionization that would require the next least energy, and so on. ionization energy ionization energy required required Не » He + e Fr - Fr + e ?
