Web when the next ionization energy involves removing an electron from the same electron shell, the increase in ionization energy is primarily due to the increased net charge. Web ( 9 votes) upvote Web thus, as size (atomic radius) increases, the ionization energy should decrease. Relating this logic to what we have just learned about radii, we would expect first ionization. Web thus in the third row of the periodic table, the largest increase in ionization energy corresponds to removing the fourth electron from al, the fifth electron from si, and so.
