Answer 1

iii) the energy required to remove an electron frm unipositive ion is called secnd ionizatn enrgy
it is difficult to remove an electron frm unipositive ion whn compared with neutral atom due to increase in nuclear attraction

electonegativity: property of an bonded atom.
relative quantity nd hs no units
