How does nuclear charge affect ionisation energy




Increasing nuclear charge
Ionisation, acceleration, drift,
increase ionisation energy as
detection
electrons harder to remove




Decreases down group. Electrons
Positive nucleus surrounded by
further from nucleus so less attraction
electrons in defined shells
and more shielding so less attraction

Calcualte the number of neutrons in C12 and C14




s = 2, p = 6, d = 10 6 in C12 and 8 in C14




1/2000 or 1/1840 Chromium and copper
