Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 2.11 Evidence for electronic structure
Practise using successive ionisation energy tables and log graphs to infer shells, subshells, group numbers and element identity.
How this is tested
- use a large jump in successive ionisation energies to identify the element's group
- deduce a Period 3 element from an ionisation energy table and justify the choice
- interpret log ionisation energy graphs as evidence for shells and subshells
