2.Use Gaussian、 Spartan or WebMO to calculate the ionization energy of atoms with atomic number 1~18,
by using HF、B3LYP and MP2 theoretical methods with 6-31G** and 6-311G** basis set, and do some simple statistical analysis.
The ionization energy of atoms with atomic number 1~18 calculations.(The unit is kcal/mol.)

The definition of Ionization Energy is minimum energy required to eject an electron out of a neutral atom or molecule in its
ground state. Cite as IUPAC.

Compare the ionization energy of atoms with atomic number 1~18 between experimental data. ( Unit : Kcal/mol )
Expect Hydrogen and Lithium, all moleculars have lots of errors.
Likewise, the absolute error of all moleculars is apparently reduced.
