    IONISATION ENERGIES

    This topic is potentially a very rich source of exam questions. It is important that you can get questions like these
    right. Don't even think about doing them if you can't reliably write electronic structures for the elements. You
    may need a copy of the Periodic Table for some of these questions.
    1. The first ionisation energy of sodium is 494 kJ mol-1. Write the equation which represents the reaction occurring
    during the first ionisation energy of sodium.
    2. Hydrogen has an electronic structure of 1s1 ; helium is 1s2 . Explain why helium's first ionisation energy (2370
    kJ mol-1) is much higher than hydrogen's (1310 kJ mol-1).
    3. One of the factors which affects first ionisation energy is the nuclear charge. Lithium has 1 more proton than
    helium (and so a greater nuclear charge), and yet its first ionisation energy is much lower (519 kJ mol-1).
    Explain why?
    4. In both Periods 2 and 3, although there are some fluctuations, the main trend is for first ionisation energy to
    increase across both periods. Explain why that is?
    5. The first ionisation energy of each element in Period 3 is less than that for the corresponding element in Period
    2. For example, magnesium in Group 2 has a first ionisation energy of 736 kJ mol-1, whereas beryllium, above
    it in the same group, has a first ionisation energy of 900 kJ mol-1. Using magnesium and beryllium as an
    example, explain why first ionisation energies in Period 3 are smaller than the corresponding ones in Period 2.
    6. Explain why aluminium's first ionisation energy (577 kJ mol-1) is less than magnesium's (736 kJ mol-1).
    7. Explain why sulphur's first ionisation energy (1000 kJ mol-1) is less than that of phosphorus (1060 kJ mol-1).
    8. In the first row of the d-block elements from scandium to zinc, apart from zinc, all the elements have fairly
    similar first ionisation energies despite the number of protons increasing across the series. Explain why the
    elements from scandium to copper have similar first ionisation energies?
    9. Explain why the first ionisation energy of zinc (908 kJ mol-1) is significantly higher than that of copper (745
    kJ mol-1)?
    You may need a copy of the Periodic Table for some of these questions.
    10. The second ionisation energy of sodium is 4560 kJ mol-1. Write the equation which represents the reaction
    occurring during the second ionisation energy of sodium.
    11. The four successive ionisation energies of beryllium are: 900 1760 14800 21000. Why is there a very big
    increase in size between the second and third ionisation energies?
    12. The following are all lists of successive ionisation energies for different elements. In each case, decide which
    group of the Periodic Table the element is to be found in. None of these elements comes from the d-block.
    a) 799 2420 3660 25000 32800
    b) 736 1450 7740 10500 13600 18000 21700 25600
    c) 1000 2260 3390 4540 6990 8490 27100 31700
    13. The graph shows the first ten ionisation energies for calcium.

    a) Say which electron is being removed at each of these ionisations.


    b) Point out and explain all the changes of slope in the graph.
    c) The eleventh ionisation energy of calcium is 57050 kJ mol-1. Explain why it is so much higher than the
    other values on the graph.
