I have been thinking about doing this for a while now but would like to compile all the periodic trends. I hear some people get ones with metals or something else that they have not seen before. Lets make sure we get them all!

Question: Can you tell wich has the greater ionization? K+ or Ar?
Are they the same or does one have preference over the other?

Post more trends!
 
Nice pic bud, in response to your question K+ would have a higher ionization energy than Ar because while they have the same # of electrons K has an extra proton whose positive charge contributes to a stronger hold on K+'s electrons than Ar's.
