Ionization Definition and 270 Threads

Hello everybody, just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for this question. Please and thanks. 1) Since the ionisation process takes an electron from its ground state to the zero level of the energy scale, the ground state energy calculated for the electron of the...

i need some helps...how does acid affect the ionization of water ? ...how does acid affect the ionization of water ? if there are more hydroximum ions in the solution,what will the change of ionization of water?

got a homework problem... What is the relationship between first ionization energies and metallic and non-metallic properties? no idea what they are talking about here.

So this is probably going to look like a ridiculously easy question, but I'm stumped. I have searched for hours looking for a formula to use, and I've given up on my text. Question: A 0.1 mol/L aqueous solution of weak monoprotic acid has a hydrogen ion concentration of 0.001 mol/L. The...

i need help with this homework question I am having problems with... Explain why the first ionization energy for sodium is much smaller than the second ionization energy for sodium.

How can you find the Ionization Energy if given the charge and electron level?

1. a) Arrange the following atoms or ions in order of increasing radius: Cl, S2-, K, K+, O b) Give an explanation for the position of S2- in relation to the atom or ion that comes just before and just after it. I was not sure that is why i am posting these.. my answer is...

Do Ionization Potential values include or exclude the work function of the electron removal process? For example: The IP value for hydrogen is 13.6 eV. Is the true IP 13.6 eV or 13.6 - WF (ca. 4 eV) = 9.6 eV roughly?

Can someone please help me understand the following question? The ionization energy of the outermost electron in Li is 5.390 eV. What is the effective charge seen by the outermost electron? (Li has 2 energy levels)

THEORY OF THE IONIZATION OF GASES BY LASER BEAMS could anyone help me about is theory ican't find it plase iknow i ask a lot :blushing: but sometime my mad don't work enough :confused:

Anyone know how to calculate the average spacing between successive ionizations of alpha particles? My case is with 4 MeV particles.

Could someone please explain the difference between a gas that has entered its plasma state and an ionized gas?

When metal oxides react with water, the oxygen generally ends up as the hydroxide ion, separate from the metal. In contrast, when nonmetallic oxides react with water, the oxygen ends up as part of the nonmetals species. What connection is there between this contrasting behaviour of metal and...

Hi I am trying to work out what ionization occurs passing laser light through air. I am trying to find out what the radius of ionized air would be, what distance it would cover (eg 1m, 2m etc...) and what the power of the laser would have to be. How would I go about working this out? Does...

excitation, ionization, TEMPERATURE?? When atomic electrons are excited or ionized, do they contribute to temparature rise?? If yes, what energy of the electron is significant in this case??

How do you go about calculating the ionization energies from atoms? Electron affinities? (KJ/mol) for example, "Calculate the change in energy from the first and fourth ionization energies of Be?" Recently on a test (CHEM AP HIGH SCHOOL), I had a question similar to this on an exam. I...

Which of the following atoms has the lowest ionization potential? a. 2 4 He b. 7 14 N c. 8 16 O d. 18 40 Ar e. 55 133 Cs The answer is e. Can someone explain the general concepts and reasoning behind this? Thanks, --YG

Greetings ! I have a little question. My teacher was talking about stable ions some days ago, he wanted to explain why do we have certain stable ions in ionic compounds and we don't have other ions. For example, we notice that the stable ion of Na (in its compunds) is Na+1 and not Na+2 or...

Please I need detailed information about the ionization of atomic hydrogen , quantum states , values of energies ... etc
