The second ionisation energies of ( Li , Be , B ) and ( C ) are in the order
Options
- AL (> ) C (> ) B (> ) Be
- BLi (> ) B (> ) C (> ) Be
- C( Be > C > B > Li )
- DB (> ) C (> ) Be (> ) Li
Correct answer
B. Li (> ) B (> ) C (> ) Be
Step-by-step solution
The second ionisation energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a ( I + ) cation in the gaseous state. (X⁺(g) X²⁺(g)+e⁻ ) Just like the first ionisation energy, the second ionisation energy is affected by size, effective nuclear charge, and electron configuration. Li has highest ( IE ₂ ) than because the second electron remove from stable noble gas configuration and (B ) has higer ( IE ₂ ) than ( C ) due to the extra stability of the (2 s^2 ) subshell in the ( B ⁺ )ion. Therefore, the order is ( Li >
