Among the following, the third ionization energy is highest for
Options
- AAluminium
- BBeryllium
- CBoron
- DMagnesium
Correct answer
B. Beryllium
Step-by-step solution
Beryllium has highest third ionization energy as B e 2 + has 1 s 2 (He gas configuration) so removal of electron is very tough. B e → I 1 B e + → I 2 B e 2 + → I 3 I 1 < I 2 < < < I 3
