Ionization energy second

Since the process removes the second electron from a magnesium atom, the ionization energy of Mg+ is called the second ionization energy of magnesium. 

The second ionization energy, however, reverses the situation ... 

The second ionization energy, /2, of an element is the energy needed to remove an electron from a singly charged gas-phase cation. For copper,... 

The first ionization energy is highest for elements close to helium and is lowest for elements close to cesium. Second ionization energies are higher than first ionization energies (of the same element) and very much higher if the electron is to be removed from a closed shell. Metals are found toward the lower left of the periodic table because these elements have low ionization energies and can readily lose their electrons. 

The valence electron configuration of the atoms of the Group 2 elements is ns1. The second ionization energy is low enough to be recovered from the lattice enthalpy (Fig. 14.18). Flence, the Group 2 elements occur with an oxidation number of +2, as the cation M2+, in all their compounds. Apart from a tendency toward nonmetallic character in beryllium, the elements have all the chemical characteristics of metals, such as forming basic oxides and hydroxides.

The second ionization energy of sodium is much larger than its first ionization energy because a core 2 p electron must be removed to create Na from Na. Removal of a core electron always requires a great deal of energy, so it is a general feature of ionic systems that ions formed by removing core electrons are not found in stable ionic compounds. 

It is difficult to prepare compounds containing Li2+ due to the immense amount of energy that is required to remove a second electron from an ion of lithium, i.e., there is a very large amount of energy (the second ionization energy) required for this reaction ... 

This energy is not likely to be repaid during compound formation. The reason for such a high second ionization energy for lithium is because the electron configuration of Li+ is Is2 which has a filled s orbital. It is the special stability of the filled s orbital which prevents the formation of Li2+ ions. Also, the formation of Li2+ requires 14 times more energy than the formation of Li+ and so is much less likely. 

The above features can be illustrated by the molecules in Table 4, where the difference between the first and second ionization energy is compared to cr from the ion s optical spectra. The molecules are arranged in order of decreasing flexibility to show how this influences the difference between cr and A/v.

The energy change in reaction (1) is called the first ionization energy and the energy associated with reaction (2) is the second ionization energy. We symbolize the two processes as I( ) and 1(2) respectively. 

Care do not confuse the symbols for molecular iodine I2 and the second ionization energy /(2). Hint note carefully the use of italic type.

D—The more electrons removed, the higher the values should be. The large increase between the first and second ionization energies indicates a change in electron shell. The element, X, has only 1 valence electron. This is true for Na. For the other elements the numbers of valence electrons are Mg—2 Cl—7 Al—3 and Si—4. 

A metal, X, reacts with chlorine to form the compound XCI2. The metal s third ionization energy is significantly larger than its first and second ionization energies. 

The mercury atom is smaller than expected from the zinc-cadmium trend and is more difficult to ionize than the lighter atoms. In consequence the metal-metal bonding in mercury is relatively poor, resulting in the element being a liquid in its standard state. This almost Group 18 behaviour of mercury may be compared to that of a real Group 18 element, xenon, which has first and second ionization energies of 1170 and 2050 kJ mol. ...
