Solution

The correct option is D Hg(g)Hg+(g)+e
Solution:- (C) Hg(g)Hg+(g)+e
The first ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of the most loosely held electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms to produce 1 mole of gaseous ions each with a charge of +1.
In the reaction, Hg(g)Hg+(g)+e, 1 mole of Hg in gaseous state is producing 1 mole of Hg+ ion in gaseous state, hence the equation represents first enthalpy of ionization.
