Which of the following transitions involves maximum amount of energy?
Options
- AM⁻(g) M(g)
- BM⁻( g ) M⁺(g)
- CM⁺(g) M²⁺(g)
- DM²⁺( g ) M³⁺( g )
Correct answer
D. M²⁺( g ) M³⁺( g )
Step-by-step solution
M²⁺ M³⁺ , after the removal of 2 e⁻ , the nuclear charge per electron increases, due to which high energy is required to remove 3 e⁻ .
