Which ionization process requires the most energy?

a. S(g) S+(g) + e-

b. S+(g) S2+(g) + e-

c. Cl(g) Cl+(g) + e-

d. Cl+(g) Cl2+(g) + e-

the atomic number will stay the same no matter how many electrons it has, so it doesn’t decrease nor increase. it’ll only change with a different number of protons

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
