21PRACTICE PROBLEM
The first ionization energy of the oxygen molecule is the energy required for the following process:
O2(g) → O2+(g) + e–
The energy needed for this process is 1175 kJ/mol, very similar to the first ionization energy of Xe. Would you expect O2 to react with F2? If so, suggest a product or products of this reaction.
