In Ionization Energy Concept Why Particularly "Isolated Gaseous Atom" Term Is Used???

Well first of all ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove a loosely bound valence electron from its nucleus to form a positive ion which is know as cation for isolated gaseous atom.
The gas should be isolated for loosing the electrons . Well if we were to determine ionization enthalpy we cannot literally isolate a single atom but yes we can reduce the force the attraction between the atoms by lowering down the pressure . Hence we use the term isolated gas atom for ionization enthalpy
and even you might have seen that ground state is also used in the definition well the reason is an isolated gaseous atom in ground state would require less energy to remove the electron . Hence the term Ground state also comes into action in ionization
Hope this helped you
