In general, ionization energies increase from left to right across a period (though there are exceptions) due to an increasing number of protons to attract electrons in the valence shell. Ionization energies decrease going down a group in the periodic table, due to the valence electrons being farther from the nucleus, and thus more shielded from its positive charge. Note that the trends in atomic radii and ionization energy go in the same direction—larger atoms tend to have lower ionization energies.
Almost all of the molecules in the atmosphere are below this velocity because of the temperature of the planet Earth (higher temperature ϭ faster molecules). 40 Almost all? Yes. Earth is very slowly losing its atmospheric gases. The lightest ones go first—about three kilograms of H2 escape the gravitational pull of Earth per year. A few arth’s atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen (N2) and 21% oxygen (O2), if you ignore water vapor, which shifts too much to include in averages for the entire planet.
How are elements named? The names of elements often have interesting origins. They have been named after people, places, colors, mythological creatures, or for a variety of other reasons. Some are 19 named after scientists, such as Curium (after Marie and Pierre Curie), Lawrencium (Ernest Lawrence), Seaborgium (Glenn Seaborg), Mendelevium (Dmitri Mendeleev), Einsteinium (Albert Einstein), and Bohrium (Niels Bohr). Others are named after places, such as Lutetium (Lutetia means Paris in Greek), Californium, Berkelium (Berkeley, California), Americium, Dubnium (Dubna, Russia), Hassium (Hessen, Germany), Yttrium, Ytterbium, Terbium, and Erbium (these last four being named after Ytterby, Sweden).
