Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 2.8 Ionisation energy definitions
Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry syllabusChemistry YCH11First assessment 2019

Identify which electron is removed from which gaseous ion, increase the ionic charge by one and include one electron with balanced charge and state symbols.

How this is tested

  • Define first ionisation energy for one mole of gaseous atoms and electrons removed.
  • Write first, second or third ionisation equations with gaseous ions and electrons.
  • Explain when a further ionisation is impossible because no electron remains.
