1 If the distance between two magnets is doubled the magnetic force between them will fall to a quarter of the initial value. #(F//4)#.  If the distance between two magnets is halved the magnetic force between them will increase to four times the initial value. #(4F)#.
This occurs as it is much easier to remove an electron from a neutrally charged atom than a positively charged atom. The loss of the first electron (in the first ionization) results in the positive nucleus having a greater pull/influence on the remaining electrons. In general, moving from left to right in a row on the periodic table, the ionization energy increases.
