A comparison of the double ionization energy values obtained with these two techniques gave consistent results, the mean values obtained with the two techniques being 28.9, 27.5 and 29.1 eV for CH3Br, CH2Br2 and CHBr3, resepectively170. 

He(I) photoelectron spectra of lanthanum tris-yS -diketonate complexes have been studied and the spectra interpreted on the basis of quantum chemical calculations of ground and ionized states by X -DV and ab initio methods [54]. The comparative analysis of the photoelectron spectra of Sc, and Lu tris-acetylacetonates showed that substitution of one oxygen atom by NH group shifts the two pairs of n and n orbitals to a different extent. The IE (ionization energy) values for (e) and 7T3 (ai) orbitals decreased by 0.8-1.0 eV. The n and n+ molecular orbital two pair bands showed a weak shift of 0.1 eV or less. 

The ionization energy values for rare earth complexes with acetylacetone (acac) and M(dpm)3 are given in Table 9.8. Photoelectron spectra showed covalency of M-L bonds in the order SCL3 > LUL3 > YL3. This order is based on the fact a2(n )-e(n ) splitting and ionization energies of n orbitals decreased in the same order. 

Positive electron affinity values signify that energy Is liberated. In contrast to Ionization energy values and values of other variables to be Introduced In Chapter 14. 

The energy-level diagram (Fig. 5.20) is drawn by showing the negative of each ionization energy value as the energy of an orbital, in accordance with Equation 5.12 and Koopmans s approximation. 

The second ionization energy value is generally much larger than the first ionization energy. Explain why this is so. 

The radius trend and the ionization energy trend are exact opposites. Does this make sense Define electron affinity. Electron affinity values are both exothermic (negative) and endothermic (positive). However, ionization energy values are always endothermic (positive). Explain. 

Think of ionization energy as an indication of how strongly an atoms nucleus holds onto its valence electrons. A high ionization energy value indicates the atom has a strong hold on its electrons. 

Atoms with large ionization energy values are less likely to form positive ions. Likewise, a low ionization energy value indicates an atom loses its outer electron easily. Such atoms are likely to form positive ions. Lithiums low ionization energy, for example, is important for its use in lithium-ion computer backup batteries where the ability to lose electrons easily makes a battery that can quickly provide a large amount of electrical power.

Ionization energy values are determined by several factors, such as ... 

The elements whose atoms have low ionization energy values have metallic character and are situated on the bottom left side of the periodic table.
