If the successive ionisation energies of an element \(A\) are 165, 190, 550 and \(595 \mathrm{kcal}\), respectively, then the ground state electronic configuration of element \(A\) is

  1. A \([\mathrm{Ne}] 3 s^2 3 p^2\)
  2. B \([\mathrm{He}] 2 \mathrm{~s}^1\)
  3. C \([\mathrm{He}] 2 s^2 2 p^2\)
  4. D \([\mathrm{Ne}] 3 \mathrm{~s}^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \([\mathrm{Ne}] 3 \mathrm{~s}^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{IE}_1=165 \mathrm{kcal}, \mathrm{IE}_2=190 \mathrm{kcal} . \\ & \mathrm{IE}_3=550 \mathrm{kcal}, \mathrm{IE}_4=595 \mathrm{kcal} \end{aligned} \] As ionisation energy value (first and second) of element \(A\) is lower, than third and fourth…
