Question

Explain ionization inthalpy

Answer 1

The ionization energy is qualitatively defined as the minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron, the valence electron, of an isolated neutral gaseous atom to form a cation. It is quantitatively expressed in symbols as X + energy → X+ + e−

Answer 2

ionisation enthalpy refers to the process of release of heat energy in this process which gives us the relationship of change in enthalpy of heat before and after the reaction.

hence it refers to the amount of heat energy required of removing the most loosely packed gaseous atom to gaseous cation is known as ionisation enthalpy.
