Classification Of Elements And Periodicity In Properties Question 49

Question: Which of the following transitions involves maximum amount of energy [AIIMS 1992]

Options:

A) $ {{M}^{-}}(g)\to M(g) $

B) $ M(g)\to {{M}^{+}}(g) $

C) $ {{M}^{+}}(g)\to {{M}^{2+}}(g) $

D) $ {{M}^{2+}}(g)\to {{M}^{3+}}(g) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ {{M}^{2+}}\to {{M}^{3+}} $ After the removal of $ 2{{e}^{-}} $ the nuclear charge per $ {{e}^{-}} $ increases, due to which high energy is required to remove $ 3{{e}^{-}} $ .
