Outlining what first ionisation energy is, factors that determine the first ionisation energy of an element and how first ionisation energy changes across a period and down a group in the periodic table. Exceptions to the general trend across periods 2 and 3 for group III and group V elements are explained fully using examples.
For AQA, OCR (A), Edexcel and CIE A-level and IB Chemistry.
