A6: Atomic Ionization Energies

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Ionization energy is the quantity of energy that an isolated, gaseous atom in the ground electronic state must absorb to discharge an electron, resulting in a gaseous cation.

H(g)H+(g)+e

These tables list values of molar ionization energies, measured in kJ mol-1.
