#Mg(g) + Delta rarr Mg^(+)(g) + e^-#

This is subject to measurement.............

Explanation:

All science relies on data, and to get these data, we need measurement. I don't know how they measure the ionization energy of magnesium metal, but I know that it is available become someone has measured it.
