Successive ionisation energies

  • To select an element: Click on an element in the grid below.
  • To view all successive ionisation energies: Ensure the ‘Full graph’ option is checked on the graph.
  • To view the ionisation energies step-wise: Ensure the ‘Step-wise’ option is selected, then click the ‘+’ and ‘−’ symbols to increment and decrement the charge, building the graph point by point and seeing the changes to the electron configuration.
