Brief about Solutions

This page gives an opportunities to see answers and to assess learners if they grasped the right knowledge on First Ionizing Energy.
It also helps learners to ensure their learning on aspects of Chemistry in general
The learner is supposed to determine which equation correctly represents the first ionization of phosphorus.
It is strongly recommended to do the Exercise before looking at the provided answers (Part 3).

Question:

Which equation correctly represents the first ionization of phosphorus?

  1. P−(g) → P (g) + e−
  2. P+(g) + e− P (g) → P (g)
  3. P(g) → P+(g) + e−
  4. P(g) → P−(g)+ e−
  5. P(g) + e− → P−(g) +

Solution:

Answer: P (g) → P+(g) + e−
