- Use Spartan to calculate the ionization energy of atoms with atomic number 1~18, by using PM3、HF and MP2 theoretical method with 6-31G* basis set, and do some simple statistical analysis. The unit of the ionization energy is kcal/mol .
Step1:build hydrogen atom

Step2: selection of calculation method, basis sets,total charge and unpaired electrons → submit


Semiempirical methods are simplified versions of Hartree-Fock theory using empirical (= derived from experimental data),So He,Ne,Ar cannot be calculated

- Conclusions
- The IE of the same group of elements decreases with increasing atomic number,as n increases, the electron is farther away from the nucleus, and the attractive force is smaller.
- The IE of elements of the same period increases with the increase of atomic number,the attractive force pull of the atomic nucleus on the electron increases.引
- Mean unsigned error (MUE): PM3 (29.7 kcal/mol) > HF (20.1 kcal/mol) > MP2 (9.8 kcal/mol)
