Using your knowledge of periodicity and atomic structure, why does the first ionisation energy decrease moving down a group yet increase moving along a period in the periodic table?

Moving down a group means that the shielding of the outer electrons is increased due to the greater number of inner electron shells within the atom - these are between the nucleus and the outer electrons....

A Positron has the same mass, but opposite charge to an electron. A Positron and electron are orbiting around each other separated by 1μm, in a stable circular orbit about their centre of mass, as a result of electrostatic attraction. Calculate the period

State Coulomb's law:F=(1/4πE0 )(qQ/d2)Since the distance separating the charges is twice the radius of the orbit relabel d to 2r and the charges are equal and opposite:F= -(1/16π...
