Question

The amount of energy required to remove an electron from an isolated atom or molecule is the ionisation potential. There is an ionization energy for each successive electron removed.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Ionization potential: the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an isolated atom or molecule. There is an ionization energy for each successive electron removed; the ionization energy associated with removal of the first (most loosely held) electron, however, is commonly used.
