How can the ionization energy of magnesium be determined?
Interesting. Can you tell me a bit more about the Rydberg formula?
Sure. The Rydberg formula is a mathematical formula that relates the ionization energy of an atom to the wavelength of light required to ionize it. The formula is given as E = -Rh/n^2, where E is the ionization energy, Rh is the Rydberg constant (a constant that has a different value for each element), and n is the principal quantum number of the electron being removed.
