Best Answer

The SI unit of energy is "Joules", although you could theoretically use "calories" or "Calories".

However, usually due to the minute nature of atoms, I'm guessing that EV (electron volt being 1.6*10^-19 of a Joule) is more appropriate

BTW, the basic unit of energy is Mass times distance squared over time squared.

Which of these elements has the highest first ionization energy Si or C?

The ionization energy is the energy needed to extract an electron from an atom; first ionization energy, second, third etc. can be measured. Reactive chemical elements have lower ionization energy.The first ionization energy for silicon is 786,5 kJ/mol.The first ionization energy for carbon is 1 086,5 kJ/mol.


Do elements typically give up electrons because they have a low ionization energy?

no


What is the energy change that occurs when an atom loses electrons called?

Is ionization potential and ionization energy same?

Yes. If the units are eV (electron volts) this is called ionization potential, if the units are kJ/mol then this ionization energy. The conversion between the units is:- 96.485 kJ/mol = 1 eV/particle) Historically it was always called ionization potential as that reflected the method of measurement.
