JEE Main Chemistry question
Which ionisation potential (IP) in the following equations involves the greatest amount of energy?
Answer: (A)
Solution
already has the stable, fully-filled noble-gas-like configuration of argon (after losing its single valence electron). Removing a second electron from this stable core () requires breaking into a complete, extra-stable shell, which demands an exceptionally large amount of energy.
