The second ionisation energies of \(\mathrm{Li}, \mathrm{Be}, \mathrm{B}\) and \(\mathrm{C}\) are in the order

  1. A L \(>\) C \(>\) B \(>\) Be
  2. B Li \(>\) B \(>\) C \(>\) Be
  3. C \(\mathrm{Be}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{Li}\)
  4. D B \(>\) C \(>\) Be \(>\) Li
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Li \(>\) B \(>\) C \(>\) Be

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The second ionisation energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a \(\mathrm{I}+\) cation in the gaseous state. \(X^{+}(g) \rightarrow X^{2+}(g)+e^{-}\) Just like the first ionisation energy, the second ionisation energy is affected by size, effective nuclear…
