Hydrogen has an ionization energy of 13.6eV.
If 1eV is defined as the velocity of an electron produced by a potential of one volt.
Does this mean that a free electron contained in a hydrogen gas could cause impact ionization if a potential of 13.6 Volts were applied to a metal plate within the container holding the hydrogen gas?
