Question

how do you calculate the ionization energy of sodium? Is there a formula to find it

Answer 1

Answer:

Following steps are needed to calculate ionisation energy-

1. Determine what atom you want to use for calculating the ionization energy. Identify the value of "Z" for the atom using a periodic table. (Another name for the number Z is the atomic number.) The value for Z appears above the symbol for the atom. For example, Z equals 1 for hydrogen.

2. Decide how many electrons the atom contains. This number is the same as Z unless the atom has already lost some electrons.

3.Calculate the ionization energy, in units of electron volts, for a one-electron atom by squaring Z and then multiplying that result by 13.6.

4.For atoms with more than one electron, arrive at the ionization energy, in units of electron volts, by first subtracting one from Z, squaring the answer, and finally multiplying by 13.6.

Equation -M = M$+$ + e$_$-
