Which form of energy is a measure of the electron stability when it is in bound

Which form of energy is a measure of the electron stability when it is in bound state with nucleus?

  • A. Potential energy
  • B. Kinetic energy
  • C. vibrational energy
  • D. lonization energy

Step-by-step solution

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom, reflecting how strongly the electron is bound to the nucleus. A higher ionization energy indicates greater electron stability, making it the correct measure.
