Why does the ionisation energy of period 2 elements increase along the period, but drop for boron and oxygen?

There are three properties to consider when looking at ionisation energy:Atomic chargeAtomic radiusElectron shieldingGoing along a period, the atomic charge increases as there are more protons in the nucl...

Explain the change in first ionisation energy across period 2

Ionisation energy increases overall because nuclear charge increases with no significant increase in shielding, so it becomes more difficult to remove the outer electron.Ionisation energy decreases going ...

State and explain how the attraction between nuclei and outermost electrons varies across group 3 (2 marks)

Attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons increases across a group because the proton number increases and the atomic radius decreases due to increased nuclear charge.Across a group shielding...

Write an equation for the incomplete combustion of dodecane to produce gaseous products only.

C10H22 (l) + 11.5O2 (g) --> 10CO(g) + 11H20 (g)Incomplete combustion so the products are CO and H2O, remember to include state symbols as the question asks for gaseous products.
