Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Maximum difference is between the fifth and fourth ionisation energy. (Removal of the 5 th electron requires almost more than double the energy required to remove the 4th electron.) This implies that the first four electrons are removed from the valence shell. Hence, number of…
