What are successive ionization enthalpies?

Open in App

Solution

Ionisation energy is defined as the energy needed to remove one electron from the outermost shell.
A ------ > A⁺ + e-
The energy required to remove second electron from A⁺ is called the second ionisation energy
A⁺ ------ > A⁺⁺ + e^-
Like this you can remove the third electron and is called third ionisation energy.

This series of ionisation energy is called successive ionisation energy.
