Questions and Answers

What is ionization energy?

  • The energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom
  • The energy required to change an atom into a molecule
  • The energy needed to break a covalent bond
  • The minimum energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron of an isolated gaseous atom, positive ion, or molecule (correct)

    • In which units is ionization energy usually expressed in physics?

  • Meters (m) or kilometers (km)
  • Electronvolts (eV) or joules (J) (correct)
  • Kilograms (kg) or grams (g)
  • Liters (L) or milliliters (mL)

    • How is the first ionization energy quantitatively expressed?

  • $X(g) - e^- ⟶ X^+(g) + energy$
  • $X(g) - energy ⟶ X^-(g) + e^+$
  • $X(g) + energy ⟶ X^+(g) + e^-$ (correct)
  • $X(g) + e^- ⟶ X^-(g) + energy$

    Study Notes

    Ionization Energy

    • Ionization energy is the minimum energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron of an isolated gaseous atom, positive ion, or molecule.

    Units of Ionization Energy

    • In physics, ionization energy is usually expressed in units of electronvolts (eV).
    • In chemistry, ionization energy is usually expressed in units of kJ/mol.

    First Ionization Energy

    • The first ionization energy is quantitatively expressed as the energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom in its ground state, resulting in a cation with a +1 charge.
    • The removed electron is represented as e⁻ in the expression for first ionization energy.
    • Ionization energy generally decreases from top to bottom in a given group (column) due to the increasing size of the atom and the corresponding decrease in the effective nuclear charge.
    • Ionization energy generally increases from left to right within a given period (row) due to the increasing effective nuclear charge and the corresponding decrease in atomic size.

    Resultant Ion

    • When the original atom is stripped of a single electron, the resultant ion has a +1 charge.
