QUESTION:
Write equations representing the following processes:
(a) The electron affinity of \(\mathrm {S^-}\).
(b) The third ionization energy of titanium.
(c) The electron affinity of \(\mathrm {Mg^{2+}}\).
(d) The ionization energy of \(\mathrm {O^{2-}}\).
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
The electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom. In contrast, ionization energy is the energy required when an electron is removed from the gaseous neutral atom.
