IONIZATION ENERGIES
Arrange the elements Se, Cl, and S in order of increasing ionization energy.
STRATEGY
Ionization energy generally increases from left to right across a row of the periodic table and decreases from top to bottom down a group. Chlorine should have a larger E_{i} than its neighbor sulfur, and selenium should have a smaller E_{i} than sulfur.
The order is Se < S < Cl.
