How do the periodic trends in metallic character compare to those for ionization energy? how do the periodic trends in metallic character compare to those for ionization energy? metals tend to have higher ionization energies than nonmetals. metals tend to have lower ionization energies than nonmetals. metals and nonmetals tend to have the same ionization energies.

Metals tend to have lower ionization energies than nonmetals.

Explanation:

Hello,

Consider the attached picture about periodic trends because it illustrates how ionization energies increase or decrease. As you can see, the higher the metallic character, the lower the ionization energy, thus, metals tend to have lower ionization energies than nonmetals.

Best regards.

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
