Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion. First ionization energy refers to the energy required to remove an electron from an electrically neutral atom in the gas phase. Subsequent ionization energies reflect the energies needed to strip successive electrons off an increasingly positively charged ion. Arrange the elements in decreasing order of first ionization energy. Rank from highest to lowest first ionization energy. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

Imagine if during the cathode ray experiment, the size of the particles of the ray was the same as the size of the atom forming the cathode. which other model or scientific observation would have also been supported? 1. this would support dalton's postulates that proposed the atoms are indivisible because no small particles are involved. 2. this would support bohr's prediction about electrons moving in orbits having specific energy. 3. this would support bohr's prediction about electrons being randomly scattered around the nucleus in the atom. 4. this would support dalton's postulates that proposed that atoms combine in fixed whole number ratios to form compounds.
