Question
Rank the following elements in order of increasing ionization energy: $\mathrm{P}, \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{S}$.
Step 1
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its gaseous state. Generally, ionization energy increases across a period (from left to right) in the periodic table and decreases down a group (from top to bottom). Show more…
