  1. Magnesium's first ionization energy is 7.646 eV per atom. With 1 eV per atom = 96.485 kJ/mol, what is it in kJ/mol, to 0.01, Bo?

  2. Chlorine's first ionization energy is 12.968 eV per atom. With 1 eV per atom = 96.485 kJ/mol, what is it in kJ/mol, to 0.01, Esme?

  3. Read this first

    First ionization energies down group 1 (PubChem) (PubChem)

    metalfirst ionization energy (eV)
    lithium5.392
    sodium5.139
    potassium4.341
    rubidium4.177
    cesium3.894
  4. Using the table, which metal loses its outer electron most easily, Jun?

    • Lithium
    • Cesium
    • Sodium
  5. Using the table, why do the energies fall down group 1, Kira?

    • The outer electron is farther out
    • The nucleus has fewer protons in it
    • The metals get lighter
  6. Using the table, how do the energies match group 1's reactivity, Luz?

    • Lower energy, more reactive
    • They aren't linked
    • Higher energy, more reactive
  7. Using the table, which pulls shared electrons more strongly, carbon or nitrogen, Noah?

    • They pull equally
    • Carbon
    • Nitrogen
  8. Using the table, why does electronegativity rise across period 2, Pia?

    Use the picture in question 6.

    • The atoms get bigger across the row
    • Electrons are lost
    • More protons pull the same shell
  9. Why are metals with low ionization energy very reactive, Ren?

    • They hold their electrons very tightly
    • They give up electrons easily
    • They have no electrons
  10. Why is fluorine such a reactive nonmetal, Tala?

    • It pulls electrons very strongly
    • It is a metal
    • It has a full shell
  11. Which halogen is most reactive, Zee?

    • Bromine
    • Fluorine
    • Iodine

About this worksheet

Ionization energy, electronegativity and reactivity trends. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can define first ionization energy and electronegativity (Pauling scale).
  • I can say both rise across a period and fall down a group; fluorine is the most electronegative element.
  • I can convert eV per atom to kJ/mol and find percent drops down a group.
  • I can link low ionization energy to reactive metals and high electronegativity to reactive nonmetals.

Standard: HS-PS1-1

Words to know

first ionization energy: Energy to remove one electron from a gas-phase atom

electronegativity: How strongly an atom pulls shared electrons in a bond

Pauling scale: The usual electronegativity scale; fluorine is 3.98, and it has no units

electronvolt (eV): A tiny energy unit; 1 eV per atom = 96.485 kJ/mol

reactivity: How readily an element takes part in reactions

Common mistakes

Your child added the energies. How much lower one is than another is a difference: subtract.

Your child divided. Per mole is far more than per atom, so multiply: 1 eV per atom = 96.485 kJ/mol.

Your child divided by the lower value. Percent drop compares with the starting value: (old − new) ÷ old × 100.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with ionization energy, electronegativity and reactivity trends?

Your child added the energies. How much lower one is than another is a difference: subtract.
