Question: $ A\to {{A}^{+}}+e,E_1 $ and $ {{A}^{+}}\to {{A}^{2+}}+e,E_2 $ . The energy required to pull out the two electrons are $ E_1 $ and $ E_2 $ respectively. The correct relationship between two energy would be

Options:

A) $ E_1<,E_2 $

B) $ E_1=E_2 $

C) $ E_1>E_2 $

D) $ E_1\ne E_2 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A
