Question:
Explain how and why for each element, successive ionisation energies increases?
Author: Phillanie JacobsAnswer:
For each element, successive ionisation energies increases because net positive charge on ion gets greater as each element is removed. As each electron is removed there is a greater attractive force between positively charged protons in the nucleus and remaining negative charged electrons More energy is needed to overcome these attractive forces.
