-
Ionisation energy generally across a period from left to right:
- 1 Decreases
- 2 Increases
- 3 Stays constant
- 4 Becomes zero
Show answer
Correct answer: Increases
Nuclear charge rises and atomic size falls, so electrons are held more tightly.

Electron affinity is the energy change when an atom:
- 1 Gains a proton
- 2 Gains an electron
- 3 Gains a neutron
- 4 Loses an electron
