The energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous species ' X ' to form ' X '. is known as first ionization energy (IE) of X . The energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous species ' X ⁺ ' to form ' X ⁺⁺ ' is called the second IE of X . Similarly, the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous species X ⁻ to form X is called the IE of X ⁻ . Identify the correct statement/s from the followi
Options
- AThe second IE of the He atom is four times that of the (first) IE of the H atom.
- BThe first IEs of F, Ne and Na atoms follow the order IE ( Na ) < IE ( Ne ) < IE ( F )
- CThe second IE of the H ⁻ ion is much less than the (first) IE of the H atom.
- DThe IEs of Li , Na and K atoms follow the order IE ( K ) < IE ( Na ) < IE ( Li )
Correct answer
D. The IEs of Li , Na and K atoms follow the order IE ( K ) < IE ( Na ) < IE ( Li )
