Question 26

Ionization Energy

Answer 26

Energy needed to remove a single electron from the atom

Question 27

If the change in energy is positive?

Answer 27

Then energy is absorbed | The electron goes from a lower energy state to a higher energy state

Question 28

If the change in energy is negative?

Answer 28

Then energy is emitted | The electron moves from a higher energy state to a lower energy state

Question 29
