Mia, Noah, and Emma are studying chemistry together. They come across a term 'ionization energy'. Noah suggests that it might be the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom of an element. Emma thinks it's the energy change that occurs when an electron is acquired by a neutral atom. Mia believes it's the measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons from another atom in the compound. They are confused. Can you help them understand what ionization energy is?
The energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom of an element.
The energy change that occurs when an electron is acquired by a neutral atom.
