Ionization energy, work function and absurdity of modern science
The neglected ionization energy variation for isoelectronic series
can
reveal more useful information about electrons structure; the problem
is these data are in contradiction with actual quantum theory.
The quantum prediction for work functions values are in contradiction
with experiments; for metals, ionization energy and work function
must
be equal but in reality they are not.
For other classes of compounds quantum mechanic fails again to
predict
something. A striking example is the case of metallic oxides having
work functions values smaller then metals. It is outrageous how a
covalent or ionic bound liberate electrons easier then a metallic
bound in frame of actual physics.

By definition, ionization energies (or ionization potentials) are
measured for the element IN THE GAS PHASE. Work functions are
traditionally done on metal solids (NOT the gas phase). In fact, the
work function of a metal varies as done the Miller indices. For
example, the (100) surface will have a different (often very
different) work function than the (111).
