Why does the ionization energy generally increase across a period in the periodic table, but decrease down a group?
Ionization energy increases across a period because, as you move from left to right, the atomic number increases, which results in a greater positive charge in the nucleus. This stronger nuclear charge pulls the electrons closer, making it harder to remove an electron.
On the other hand, ionization energy decreases down a group because additional electron shells are added as you move down the periodic table, increasing the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron. This greater distance reduces the electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electron, making it easier to remove the outermost electron despite the increase in nuclear charge. The effect of shielding by inner electrons also contributes to this trend.
