Question

A sudden large jump between the values of 2nd
and 3rd IP of an element would be associated
with the electronic configuration-
(1) 1s2, 2s 2p, 3s
(27 1s, 2s 2p6, 382 3p5
(3) 1s2, 2s 2p 3s 3p2
(4) 1s2, 2s 2p 3s2​

Answer 1

Answer:

option (4) is correct

Explanation:

Large difference between second and third ionization potential implies that there must be 2 valence electrons in the element. As after the removal of two electrons, the element will acquire a stable noble gas configuration. It is difficult to remove the electron from the stable noble gas configuration.

Based on the above analysis option 4 is correct
