What is the ionization energy with respect to an element?

Answer 1

#"This is the energy associated........"#

#"This is the energy associated with the formation of 1 mole of"# #"gaseous cations and 1 mole of gaseous electrons from 1 mole"# #"gaseous atoms"#.

In simpler terms, this represents the energy linked to the specific reaction.

#M(g) + Delta rarrM^+(g)+e^-#

Thus #Delta="the ionization energy......."#

It is specified that the element and its cation are in the gas phase.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
