OLWhat is ionization energy in Chemistry?🧪👨🔬👩🔬⚗️
A metal's chemical reactivity is directly related to its ionization energy. The ionization energy is the energy required for a metal atom to turn into an ion by losing electrons.⚡️⚡️
Reactive metals have lower ionization energies because their valence electron(s) are already loosely bound and not much energy is required for the electron to escape and ionize the metal 💥💥
Conversely for stable metals like gold🪙, their valence electron(s) are strongly attracted to the nucleus, making it difficult to ionize since more energy is required for the electron to escape.🤓
