[edit] Ionization Energy
Ionization Energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion.
The first ionization energy is the energy required to remove one of the highest-energy electrons from an atom. In general, first ionization energy increases across a period and decreases down a group. In other words, it increases from bottom-left to top-right.
