If one electron has been removed from an atom, it becomes increasingly difficult to remove the second and subsequent electrons from the resulting positively charged ions on account of electrostatic attraction.Suppose a gas mixture of F, Cl, Br, and I is irradiated with photons of frequency appropriate to ionize Cl. What ion(s) will be present in the mixture?
