What Does FIP Stand For?
FIP stands for First Ionization Potential
First Ionization Potential (FIP) refers to the minimum energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral atom in its gaseous state. It is a fundamental property of elements that reflects their tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions. FIP values are crucial in fields such as chemistry, physics, and materials science, as they influence the reactivity, ionization processes, and spectral characteristics of elements.
