CH262 Lecture 13: Atomic Spectroscopy Part II

Which of the following processes listed below represents the experiment for measureing an ionization energy?

(E--> represents a nuetral element, "m"- represents a metal cation; and X represents a nonmental anion)

A. MX (g) + energy --> M^n+^ (g) + X^n-^ (g)

B. E(g) + energy--> E^+^(g) + e^-^

C. X-X (g) + energy --. 2 X (g)

D. E(g) + e^-^ --> E-(g) + energy

E. None of these

Highest oxidation state for the following elements:
