Chemistry pt. 6: Ionization energy trends

Ionization energy is energy to required to remove the highest energy electron from an atom.

If you go down a group, removing the highest energy electron becomes easier, or ionization energy decreases the further you go down.
And if you go from left to right on the periodic table, the energy that is necessary to remove the election increases.
