Which of the following processes represents the ionization energy of bromine? A)Br(s) Br⁺(g)+ e^- B)Br(l) Br⁺(g)+ e^- C)Br(g) Br⁺(g)+ e^- D)Br(s) Br⁺(s)+ e^- E)Br₂(g) Br₂⁺(g)+ e^-

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ionization energy of bromine refers to the energy required to remove an electron from a bromine atom in the gaseous state. Therefore, the correct process should have gaseous bromine as a reactant. Choice C represents the correct process as it has gaseous bromine (Br(g)) as a reactant, and it shows the process of removing an electron from a bromine atom (e^-). The other choices have either solid or liquid bromine as a reactant, or they show a different type of reaction.
