Rank these elements according to first ionization energy.

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

Just look at electronegativity for the first ionization energy. http://www.green-planet-solar-energy.com/images/PT-small-electroneg.gif

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

the more electronegative the stronger an element holds onto its electrons

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

Second ionization energy is a bit different but smeh meh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Australopithecus Shouldn't second ionisation energies follow a similar pattern as the first? Or are they completely different? @Australopithecus

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

they are different because it has more to do with oribtials
