Concept
Successive Ionization Energies 0
Successive Ionization Energies refer to the energy required to remove each electron from an atom or ion, one after another, with each subsequent removal requiring more energy due to the increased attraction between the remaining electrons and the nucleus. This concept is crucial for understanding the electronic structure of atoms and the stability of ions, as it highlights the increasing difficulty of removing electrons as the atom becomes more positively charged.
