Ionization Potential of Tin (Sn) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

Ionization potention is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from Tin. But what is the ionization potential of an atom of Sn?

Note: Learn more about the ionization potential here.

In the case of Tin the first ionization potential is 7.3438 V. There are cool and interesting facts about Tin that most people don't know about. Including the possibility of different ionization potentials. Check this...

Tin Data

Tin First Ionization Potential
