Question

(e) The second ionisation energy of an atom is always than the first ionisation energy of an
atom.
​

Answer 1

The second ionisation energy of an atom is always less than the first ionisation energy of an

atom.

Answer 2

Answer:

An element's second ionization energy is the energy required to remove the outermost, or least bound, electron from a 1+ ion of the element. Because positive charge binds electrons more strongly, the second ionization energy of an element is always higher than the first.
