Inorganic Chemistry ACS: Study Guide 2025 Questions and Answers Ionization energy - --Answer --energy required to remove the least tightly bound electron from a neutral atom in the gas phase periodic trend of ionization energy - --Answer --highest at top right-smaller electron=harder to remove Why is a half filled subshell so stable? - --Answer --it serves to maximize the stabilizing interactions while minimizing the destabilizing interactions among electrons exchange interaction - --Answer --pie, stabilizing, result of electrons pairing in degenerate orbitals with parallel spin pairing energy - --Answer --destabilizing, coulomb interaction, pic, energy of electron-electron repulsion in a filled orbital Is it easier to ionize a high energy or low energy electrons - --Answer --high energy electron-already contains more energy so it requires less energy input ....COPYRIGHT ©️ 2025 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED...TRUSTED & VERIFIED 1
