Unit 1 - 4) Ionisation Energy Flashcards
1
Q
- What is the ionisation energy of an element
- what do second and third ionisation energies refer to
A
- the ionisation energy of an element is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of the gaseous atoms.
- The second and subsequent ionisation energies refer to removal of further moles of electrons
