The ionization potential of mercury is approximately_____________?
Correct answer: C. 10.4 V
- A. 5.4 V
- B. 8.4 V
- C. 10.4 V
- D. 16.4 V
Explanation
Mercury has an ionization potential of approximately 10.4 V, commonly stated as 10.4 eV when expressed as ionization energy per electron. Therefore, option c matches the standard value.
