Tips

Affected by 3 things

Successive I.E

Trend in Periodic Table

It is the loss or gain of electrons

It is the energy required to remove 1 electron from each atom in 1 mol of gaseous atoms to form 1 mol of gaseous 1+ ions.

It is the energy required to remove 1 electron from each atom in 1 mol of gaseous 1+ ions to form 1 mol of gaseous 2+ ions.

A) State the state as gaseous B) Mention (1mol of atoms) C) greater I.E easier to loose electron D) Lesser I.E harder to loose electrons

E.g. 2nd I.E-- Na+(g) > Na2+(g) + e-

E.g. 3rd I.E-- Na2+(g) > Na3+(g) + e-
