NEET Chemistry Ionization Energy MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 11
Imagine a diagram representing the process of ionization of an element X. The diagram shows X(g) transforming into X+(g) by losing an electron. Which factor is NOT directly affecting the energy required for this transformation?
A
Nuclear charge (Z)
B
Valence principal quantum number (n)
C
Nuclear mass
D
Number of core electrons
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The ionization energy is influenced by nuclear charge, valence principal quantum number, and the shielding effect from core electrons, but not by the nuclear mass.
