Question

The following reaction can be written as the sum of two reactions, one of which relates to ionization energy and one of which relates to electron affinity:
Li(g)+F(g)→Li+(g)+F−(g)

Part A

What is the reaction that corresponds to the first ionization energy of lithium, Li ?

Part B

What is the reaction that corresponds to the electron affinity of fluorine, F ?

Both A and B need to be in CHEMICAL Equation.

Answer 1

A)
First ionization energy of Li:
Li(g) + 520 kJ/mol → Li⁺(g) + e⁻ 

B)
Electron affinity of Fluorine:
F(g) + e⁻ →  F⁻(g) + 328 kJ/mol
