MCQ
From the ground state electronic configuration of the elements given below, pick up the one with highest value of second ionisation energy.
  • A
    $1s^2\,2s^2\,2p^6\,3s^2$
  • $1s^2\,2s^2\,2p^6\,3s^1$
  • C
    $1s^2\,2s^2\,2p^6$
  • D
    $1s^2\,2s^2\,2p^5$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$1s^2\,2s^2\,2p^6\,3s^1$
b
$1 s^2\, 2 s^2\, 2 p^6\, 3 s^1$, the second ionisation energy will be very high for this electronic configuration as it involves removal of the electron from a configuration, $2 s^2 \,2 p^6$ which is the stable electronic configuration of $Ne$.
