Ionization Energy of Astatine (At) [& State, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

Atoms like Astatine may lose electrons, which in turn require ionization energy. Ok but how much ionization is required for an atom of At?

Note: Learn more about ionization energy here.

In the case of Astatine the first ionization energy is 920 kilojoules per mole. Now let me show you some cool facts about Astatine:

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Ionization Energy of Astatine (At) [& State, Uses, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
