thats not one of the answers

OpenStudy (dylangr1997):

what are the choices?

A. Ionization energy B. Atomic Radius C. Electronegativity D. Ionic Radius

OpenStudy (dylangr1997):

The correct answer is C. Electronegativity

U think u can help me with three more questions

OpenStudy (dylangr1997):

yea

In the process of ionization, what is the relationship between the second ionization energy (I¿) and the third ionization energy (IÀ)?

OpenStudy (dylangr1997):

When considering an initially neutral atom, expelling the first electron will require less energy than expelling the second, the second will require less energy than the third, and so on. Each successive electron requires more energy to be released. This is because after the first electron is lost, the overall charge of the atom becomes positive, and the negative forces of the electron will be attracted to the positive charge of the newly formed ion. The more electrons that are lost, the more positive this ion will be, the harder it is to separate the electrons from the atom.
