first ionization energy
atomic radius
ionic radius
number of protons
molecular weight
The energy needed to remove the first electron from an atom is the first ionization energy. The energy needed to remove the second electron from an atom is the second ionization energy. The definition of third and fourth ionization energies is similar. Which of the atoms below would you expect to have the largest 3rd ionization energy?
Na

Electronegativity tends to increase as you
go down a column of the periodic table.
go from left to right across the periodic table..
go toward the middle of the periodic table.
go from the upper left-hand corner to the lower right-hand corner of the periodic table..
None of these are correct.
