Which of the following has highest second ionization energy?
Which of the following has highest second ionization energy?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Electronic configuration for chromium is :
{ }_{24} 1 s² 2 s² 2 p⁶ 3 s² 3 p⁶ 3 d⁵ 4 s¹
After ionisation of electron the next electron which will be ionised is from orbital. As electronic configuration, is stable, hence, the second ionisation of will require much greater ionisation energy than the expected one.
