Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the term for the energy required to remove an electron from an atom in the gas phase?
  • Step 1: Understand that atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  • Step 2: Know that electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus of an atom.
  • Step 3: Realize that sometimes we want to remove an electron from an atom.
  • Step 4: The energy needed to take away an electron from an atom is called ionization energy.
  • Step 5: Remember that this process happens when the atom is in the gas phase, meaning it is not in a solid or liquid state.
