What is the difference between binding energy and ionization energy?
Binding energy | Ionization energy |
Binding energy is the amount of energy required to dismantle the system's particles into individual particle. | Ionization energy is the minimum amount of energy needed to remove the electron from the valence shell of an atom. |
It is expressed in | It is expressed in |
It can not follow any such trends in the periodic table | It follows the trends in the periodic table as it increases from left to right and decreases from top to bottom. |
Example: The binding energy of Nitrogen | Example: The ionization energy of atomic Nitrogen is |
