As the outermost electrons are further from the positive nucleus there is less attraction between the negative electron(s) and the nucleus. As there is less attractive force it requires less energy to remove the electron and so a lower ionization energy

Why are neither the alkali metals nor the alkaline-earth metals found uncombined in nature?

Sodium $Na_11^23$ is so reactive that if sodium metal is placed in water it will react vigorously to produce Hydrogen gas and heat often causing an explosion. All of...

In the alkali metals group, what happens as the atomic number increases?

The metal becomes more reducing........and MUCH MORE reactive. Lithium is fairly zippy in water; sodium is even zippier. Potassium will give you bangs and pops and flames. The metal...

How should the ionization energies of the alkali metals compare with the ionization energies of the adjacent Group, the alkaline earths?

It is well known that ionization energies INCREASE across a Period from left to right as we observe the Table, but decrease down a Group. Across the Period, as nuclear...

Mendeleev's version of the periodic table does not have noble (inert) gases. Why do you think the noble gases were late in being discovered?

Chemistry is driven by the observation of chemical reactivity, by the analysis of how matter transforms in chemical reaction. Of course, given inert materials, there is no chemical reactivity...

Why alkaline earth metals are harder than alkali metals?

As you know, metallic results from the delocalization of electrons from the parent metal atom so that positive ions are conceived to swim in a sea of electrons. This view...

What periodic trend exist for ionization energy and how does this trend relate to different energy levels?

This is one of the most important Periodic trends you can learn, in that it highlights the effects of periodicity. As $Z$, the increases sequentially, an electron is added to...

How do nuclear charge and shielding effect the periodic trend and group trend of ionization energy?

You need to understand one thing about shielding of the nuclear charge: whenever you start a new period of you are starting over! The inert gas shell that you are...

How do 1st, 2nd and 3rd ionisation energies compare in metals, non-metals and noble gases?

And we would also expect them to increase in the order...... $"metals"$ $<$ $"non-metals"$ $<$ $"Noble Gases"$. So why? Metals are generally regarded as electron-rich materials, whose are delocalized and...

How many valence electrons are found in most atoms of the noble gases? How would you use this information to explain why the noble gases are non-reactive?

Remember that all noble gases are free from being involved in reactions as they are stable, all strive to be stable, I.E have a full outer shell of electrons, noble...

Noble gases, such as helium and neon, have stable, outer level electron configurations. How does this fact explain why atoms of noble gases usually do not form chemical bonds?

The term "stable" in Chemistry simply means that the atoms have an octet shell. With a full valence shell, electrons cannot be shared nor transferred. Since Noble Gases are known...
