Title: Removing an electron.
Post by: Dhisbdj on October 31, 2019, 07:29:20 AM

Is it easier to remove an electron from Fe or Na ?

Na, check electronegativity.

Na, check electronegativity.

Do you mean the first energy of ionization?

Na, check electronegativity.

Electronegativity is a conventional value. It does not relate properly with the electron affinity nor the energy of ionization - nor do the last two relate simply with an other.
