Which trend is followed by ionisation energy across a period?

  1. Continuously increases
  2. Generally increases with some dips
  3. Continuously decreases
  4. Has no clear pattern in the standard view
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Generally increases with some dips

1. Ionisation energy rises with nuclear charge across a period. 2. There are exceptions where the configuration is especially stable. 3. Group 13 dips below Group 2; Group 16 dips below Group 15. 4. So the trend is rising overall with small dips at known positions. 5. Hence the general statement 'increases with some dips' is correct. _Source: syllabus Science Ch 5 'Periodic Classification of Elements'_

Order the atomic models as they were proposed

Read exercise and reference answers
Steps
  1. Dalton: the atom is the ultimate indivisible particle
  2. Thomson: a sphere of positive charge with electrons embedded
  3. Rutherford: a tiny dense nucleus with electrons revolving around it
  4. Bohr: electrons in fixed circular orbits of definite energy
  5. Schrodinger: a wave equation giving energy states and orbitals
syllabus walks through them in this order, each answering what the previous one could not: Dalton 1808, Thomson 1898, Rutherford 1909, Bohr 1913, Schrodinger 1926. Source: syllabus Chemistry Part I, Ch 2 Structure of Atom.
