Question

The first, second and third ionsiation energies (E1, E2 & E3) for an element are 7 eV, 12.5 eV and 42.5 eV respectively. The most stable oxidation state of the element will be

Answer 1

Answer:

3rd state

Explanation:

The energy difference of most stable species is unusually high than other energy differences, her difference between first and second state is 5.5eV while in second and third state is 30eV so Third state is most stable.
