MCQ
Consider the following changes

$M(s) \to M(g)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, ........(1)$

$M(s) \to M^{2+} (g) + 2e^-\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.......(2)$

$M(g) \to M^+(g) + e^-\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.........(3)$

$M^+ (g) \to M^{2+} (g) + e^-\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.........(4)$

$M(g) \to M^{2+} (g) +2e^-\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,..........(5)$

The second ionization energy of $M$ could be calculated from the energy  values assoclated with

  • A
    $1 + 3 + 4$
  • B
    $2 - 1 + 3$
  • C
    $1 + 5$
  • $5 - 3$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$5 - 3$
d
$(d)$ Second ionization energy is amount of energy required to take out an  electron from the monopositive cation.

Hence,         $M(g) \to M^{2+} + 2e^-$                  $........(5)$

                     $M(g) \to M^+ + e^-$                        $.........(3)$
