Write equation for the first ionization energy of neon. express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer.

The first ionization energy of a known element is the energy it needs to remove its highest energy or outermost electron. It is done to make a neutral atom be a positively charged ion. The first ionization energy of neon as a chemical equation is this:

Ne (g) - > Ne + (g) + e-
