Is the definition given below for ionisation enthalphy correct ?
Ionisation enthalphy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from the valence shell of an atom

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No. It is not correct. The accurate and absolute definition is as follows: Ionization energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from the valence shell of the isolated neutral gaseous atom in its ground state.
