Elements that reside close to each other in the periodic table or elements that do not have much of a difference in ionization energy make polar covalent or covalent bonds.
For example, carbon and oxygen make CO 2 Carbon dioxide reside close to each other on a periodic table; they, therefore, form a covalent bond. Carbon and chlorine make CCl 4 Carbon tetrachloride another molecule that is covalently bonded. As described above, ionization energies are dependent upon the atomic radius. Since going from right to left on the periodic table, the atomic radius increases, and the ionization energy increases from left to right in the periods and up the groups.
Exceptions to this trend is observed for alkaline earth metals group 2 and nitrogen group elements group Typically, group 2 elements have ionization energy greater than group 13 elements and group 15 elements have greater ionization energy than group 16 elements. Groups 2 and 15 have completely and half-filled electronic configuration respectively, thus, it requires more energy to remove an electron from completely filled orbitals than incompletely filled orbitals.
Alkali metals IA group have small ionization energies, especially when compared to halogens or VII A group see diagram 1. In addition to the radius distance between nucleus and the electrons in outermost orbital , the number of electrons between the nucleus and the electron s you're looking at in the outermost shell have an effect on the ionization energy as well.
This effect, where the full positive charge of the nucleus is not felt by outer electrons due to the negative charges of inner electrons partially canceling out the positive charge, is called shielding.
The more electrons shielding the outer electron shell from the nucleus, the less energy required to expel an electron from said atom.
The higher the shielding effect the lower the ionization energy see diagram 2. It is because of the shielding effect that the ionization energy decreases from top to bottom within a group. From this trend, Cesium is said to have the lowest ionization energy and Fluorine is said to have the highest ionization energy with the exception of Helium and Neon. Privacy Policy.

So, for example, if we were to focus on, especially we could look at group one, and we've already talked about how Hydrogen's a bit of a special case in group one but if we look at everything below Hydrogen.
If we look at the Alkali, if we look at the Alkali metals here we've already talked about the fact that these are very willing to lose an electron. Because if they lose an electron they get to the electron configuration of the noble gas before it. So, if Lithium loses an electron then it has an outer shell electron configuration of Helium.
It has two outer electrons and that's kind of, we typically talk about the Octet Rule but if we're talking about characters like Lithium or Helium they're happy with two 'cause you can only put two electrons in that first shell. But all the rest of 'em, Sodium, Potassium, etc. Lithium, if you remove an electron, it would get to Helium and it would have two electrons in its outer shell.
So, you can imagine that the ionization energy right over here, the energy required to remove electrons from your Alkali Metals is very low. So, let me just write down this is So, when I say low, I'm talking about low ionization energy. Now, what happens as we move to the right of the periodic table? In fact, let's go all the way to the right on the periodic table. Well, if we go here to the Noble Gases, the Noble Gases we've already talked about.
They're very, very, very stable. They don't want no one, they don't want their electron configurations messed with. So, it would be very hard Neon on down has their eight electrons that mumbling Octet Rule. Helium has two which is full for the first shell, and so it's very hard to remove an electron from here, and so it has a very high ionization energy.
Low energy, easy to remove electrons. Or especially the first electron, and then here you have a high ionization energy. I know you have trouble seeing that H. So, this is high, high ionization energy, and that's the general trend across the periodic table. As you go from left to right, you go from low ionization energy to high ionization energy.
Now, what about trends up and down the periodic table?
