The Carbon Ionization Energy is the energy required to remove from atom one mole of electrons with subsequent production of positively charged ion of Carbon.
C -> C+ + e-
This process can be repeated many times, but the energy cost is increased dramatically. The general equation for the Carbon is:
CN+ -> C(N+1)+ + e-
|
C -> C1+ = 1086.2 kJ/mol = 259.86 Kcal/mol
\nC1+ -> C2+ = 2352 kJ/mol = 562.68 Kcal/mol
\nC2+ -> C3+ = 4620 kJ/mol = 1105.26 Kcal/mol
\nC3+ -> C4+ = 6222 kJ/mol = 1488.52 Kcal/mol
\nC4+ -> C5+ = 37827 kJ/mol = 9049.52 Kcal/mol
\nC5+ -> C6+ = 47270 kJ/mol = 11308.61 Kcal/mol
