NEET Chemistry Ionization Energy MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11
If the first ionization enthalpy of an element X is 520 kJ/mol and its second ionization enthalpy is 730 kJ/mol, what is the expected trend for the third ionization enthalpy?
A
Greater than 730 kJ/mol
B
Less than 520 kJ/mol
C
Equal to 520 kJ/mol
D
Exactly 730 kJ/mol
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The third ionization enthalpy will be higher than the second since it is more difficult to remove an electron from a more positively charged ion, as stated in the NCERT context.
