The Californium Ionization Energy is the energy required to remove from atom one mole of electrons with subsequent production of positively charged ion of Californium.
Cf -> Cf+ + e-
This process can be repeated many times, but the energy cost is increased dramatically. The general equation for the Californium is:
CfN+ -> Cf(N+1)+ + e-

Cf -> Cf1+ = 608 kJ/mol = 145.45 Kcal/mol
