For each atom, the column marked 1 is the first ionization energy to ionize the neutral atom, the column marked 2 is the second ionization energy to remove a second electron from the +1 ion, the column marked 3 is the third ionization energy to remove a third electron from the +2 ion, and so on.

"use" and "WEL" give ionization energy in the unit kJ/mol; "CRC" gives atomic ionization energy in the unit eV.^[1]

• Values from CRC are ionization energies given in the unit eV; other values are molar ionization energies given in the unit kJ/mol. The first of these quantities is used in atomic physics, the second in chemistry, but both refer to the same basic property of the element. To convert from "value of ionization energy" to the corresponding "value of molar ionization energy", the conversion is:

  1 eV = 96.48534 kJ/mol

  1 kJ/mol = 0.0103642688 eV^[12]
