Interpretation:
The order of increasing sizes and increasing ionization energies of
Concept Introduction:
Atomic size is half of the distance between the adjacent atoms in the molecule. Since the electron cloud has no fixed boundary so the size of the atom is measured with high difficulty.
The energy that is needed to remove an electron from the isolated, neutral gaseous atom is known as ionization energy. It is represented by
