MCQ
The first, second and third ionisation energies  $(E_1 ,E_2$ & $E_3 )$ for an element are  $7\,eV, 12.5\,eV$ and $42.5\,eV$ respectively. The most stable oxidation state of the  element will be
  • A
    $+1$
  • B
    $+4$
  • C
    $+3$
  • $+2$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$+2$
d
The +2 onidation state will be the most stable oridetion state.

It can be seen that $E_{3}$ is very high at 42.5 ev in to $E_{1}(7 eV )$ and $E_{2}$ comparision to $(12.5 eV )$ which implies the element reached a stable electronic configuration at $2^{n d}$ ionization and hence, $E_{3}$ is very high.

Hence, D is the correct anower
