Ionization energy: Standards, Quantum-mechanical explanation & Overview

In physics and chemistry, ionization energy (IE) (American English spelling), or ionisation energy (British English spelling) is the minimum energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron(s) (the valence electron(s)) of an isolated gaseous atom, positive ion, or molecule. The first ionization energy is quantitatively expressed as
