Preferred term

ionization potential  

Definition(s)

  • The ionization potential is the energy needed to remove an electron from the ground state of a given type of atom to infinity. It increases for removal of successive electrons, which are bound to the atom's positive charge. Ionization potentials can be determined by spectroscopy. (Encyclopedia of Science, by David Darling, https://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/I/ionization_potential.html)
