If the successive ionisation energies of an element A are 165, 190, 550 and 595 kcal , respectively, then the ground state electronic configuration of element A is
Options
- A[ Ne ] 3 s^2 3 p^2
- B[ He ] 2 ~s ^1
- C[ He ] 2 s^2 2 p^2
- D[ Ne ] 3 ~s ^2
Correct answer
D. [ Ne ] 3 ~s ^2
Step-by-step solution
aligned & IE ₁=165 kcal , IE ₂=190 kcal . & IE ₃=550 kcal , IE ₄=595 kcal aligned As ionisation energy value (first and second) of element A is lower, than third and fourth ionisation energy. So, it indicates that valence shell posess 2 electrons. Configuration of element A is [ Ne ] 3 ~s ^2 .
