Photoionization is the process in which an atom or molecule absorbs a photon and subsequently loses an electron, resulting in the formation of a positively charged ion. This phenomenon typically occurs when the energy of the incoming photon exceeds the ionization energy of the atom or molecule. Photoionization plays a critical role in various fields, including astrophysics, atmospheric chemistry, and mass spectrometry, as it helps to understand the behavior of matter under different energy conditions.
Ionisation potential and ionisation energy are essentially the same concept - they both refer to the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or molecule. The terms are often used interchangeably in practice.
The ionisation enthalpy of potassium is lower than that of sodium.
Ionisation energy decreases down the group. It is easy to remove an electron.
Ionisation energy differs between elements due to variations in the number of protons in their nucleus, which affects the strength of the attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. Elements with higher atomic numbers typically have higher ionisation energies due to increased nuclear charge. Additionally, ionisation energy generally increases across a period and decreases down a group on the periodic table.
ionisation system stay in water whereas chlorine evaporate into the air, Chlorine irritates the skin, the eyes, and the respiratory system.
when we go from left to right
Yes.
Yes.
ionisation (anything with tion at the end)
yes, it is correct.
The first ionization energy of an atom or molecule describes the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the atom or molecule in the gaseous state.
Negative ionisation is usually the result, in ionic bonding, of adding one or more electrons to an atom, molecule or even an negative ion. The last of these goes more negative.
