Chemistry-Ionization Energy

NEET Chemistry Ionization Energy Match the Following Question

Type: Match the Following-match the column-Medium-Class 11

Match Column-I with Column-II.

Column-I Column-II (a) First Ionization Energy (i) Removal of one electron from a neutral atom (b) Second Ionization Energy (ii) Removal of one electron from a singly charged cation (c) General trend across a period (iii) Increases with increasing atomic number (d) General trend down a group (iv) Decreases with increasing atomic size

Choose the correct matching:

A

a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv

B

a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii

C

a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii

D

a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The first ionization energy refers to the energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom (i). The second ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a singly charged cation (ii). Across a period, the ionization energy generally increases due to increased nuclear charge (iii), while down a group it decreases as atomic size increases (iv).
