(e) the electron affinity of Cl+
_________kJ/mol
Ionization Energy Chart
I(sub1) I(sub2) I(sub3) I(sub4) I(sub5)
Cl 1255 2295 3850 5160 6560
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
At first when I saw the Cl-, I thought maybe they added an extra electron to become Ar and I used the Ionization Energy (I sub1) for Ar but it wasn't right...
I was wondering if there are any difference between getting the Ionization Energy of Cl+ and Cl? I mean the book gave me the chart of I (sub1) to I (sub7) of Cl but nothing about the ions of Cl. Is there an equation or anyway where you could figure out the energy? (same question regarding electron affinity)
P.S.
Yay! First post!
