K ( g )+ IE longrightarrow K +( g )+ e - K +( g )+ e - arrow K ( g )+ EA Second equation is reverse of the first. The energy released in the second process would be equal to the energy absorbed in the first.

Q. The ionisation potential of K would be numerically equal to

Electron affinity

Electronegativity of K

Electron affinity of $K^{+}$

Ionization energy of Ca

$K (g) + I E ⟶ K^{+} (g) + e^{-}$
$K^{+} (g) + e^{-} \to K (g) + E A$
Second equation is reverse of the first. The energy released in the second process would be equal to the energy absorbed in the first.
