  1. A \(27.2 \mathrm{eV}\)
  2. B \(40.8 \mathrm{eV}\)
  3. C \(54.4 \mathrm{eV}\)
  4. D \(108.8 \mathrm{eV}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(54.4 \mathrm{eV}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Second ionisation energy \(=13.6 \times \frac{2^{2}}{1^{2}}\) \[ =54.4 \mathrm{eV} \]
