Before ranking elements by their ionization energy, it's important to understand the factors that govern this property: Nuclear Charge: A higher nuclear charge (more protons in the nucleus) results in ...

Scientists have achieved the ionization potential measurement of lawrencium (element 103) with a novel-type technique at the JAEA tandem accelerator. Based on the empirically developed "actinide ...

Researchers have for the first time measured the first ionization energy of lawrencium, the last of the actinides, validating predictions of the element’s electronic structure (Nature 2015, DOI: ...

Creating a data table beforehand will help you organize your observations and measurements. For example, if you are testing the reactivity of metals with acid, your data table might include columns ...

Measurements of an artificial radioactive element called lawrencium could revive an arcane controversy over the element’s position in the periodic table — and the structure of the table itself. An ...

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

A paper by Kazan Federal University and Tatarstan Academy of Sciences saw light in Physics Letters A. Ionization energy is one of the most important physicochemical parameters. It is defined in terms ...

The covalent radius (a measure of how large individual atoms are) shows different trends if you are moving across a period or down a group. A comparison of the relative covalent radii of atoms is ...
