D) energy required to remove a valence electron
Explanation:
The ionization energy is the energy required to remove a valence electron from an element.
Different kinds of atoms bind their valence electrons with different amount of energy.
- To remove the electrons, energy must be supplied to the atom.
- The amount of energy required to remove the an electron in the valence shell is the ionization energy or ionization potential.
- The first ionization energy is the energy needed to remove the most loosely bound electron in an atom in the ground state.
- The ionization energy measures the readiness of an atom to loose electrons.

Answer:Gained, Lost , Shared
Explanation:
The oxidation state tells you how many electrons an atom has GAINED.................. , LOST....................... , or SHARED........................ , in forming a compound.
Oxidation state is defined as the the total number of electrons that an atom gains or loses when forming a chemical bond with another atom.
----To form an ionic bond for example in NaCl, Na, with 11 electrons and one valence electron in its outermost shell donates or lose that valence electron to Chlorine with 17 electron and 7 in its outermost shell. Therefore Sodium, Na acquires the +1 oxidaton state to become stable and Chlorine acquires the -1 oxidation state to become stable forming the NaCl compound.
To form a covalent compound, There must be sharing of electrons between atoms.For example, in PCl3, The phosphorous atom with atomic number 15 shares its three unpaired electrons with the single valence electrons of three chlorine atoms. making the four molecules to attain stability with Phosphorous having +3 and the chlorine atoms having -1 oxidation states
2Al₂O₃ → 4Al + 3O₂
the mole ratio is 4:3
for every 4 Al, there must be 3 O₂ in order to make 2Al₂O₃
hope this helped at all
