Question

what happens to ionization energy as you move across a period in the periodic table? it fluctuates randomly it increases it remains constant it decreases

Explanation:

As you move across a period in the periodic table from left - to - right, the number of protons in the nucleus increases, while the shielding effect of inner - shell electrons remains relatively constant. This leads to a greater effective nuclear charge attracting the outer - shell electrons more strongly. As a result, more energy is required to remove an electron, so ionization energy increases.

Answer:

B. It increases
