Periodic Trends: Ionization Energy - AP Chem Unit 1, Topic 7a

In this video, Mr. Krug begins a series of three videos about periodic trends. The focus of this video is ionization energy, and he works several examples to help students explain why different elements have higher or lower ionization energies than other elements. He also discusses successive ionization energies.

Thank you. On the periodic table picture on left Greater electron distance Increases. On the bottom it should be less effective nuclear charge increases. I would unify these statements so it doesn’t confuse the students. Thank you for great efforts

Thanks for your suggestion! The 'DECREASES' and 'INCREASES' in black refer to the trend for F.I.E. (since F.I.E. is highest at the top right of the table and lowest at the bottom left of the table), and the text in red refers to the reason. I can see how some might find it a little confusing; making these videos is a constant work in progress. Have a great day!
