    The successive ionization energies (IE) for an element A are as follows:
    \[\operatorname{A}\xrightarrow{I{{E}_{1}}}{{A}^{+}}\xrightarrow{I{{E}_{2}}}{{A}^{2+}}\xrightarrow{I{{E}_{3}}}{{A}^{3+}}\to ....\]
    If the \[{{\operatorname{IE}}_{1}}\], and \[{{\operatorname{IE}}_{2}}\] values are \[27\text{ }kJmo{{l}^{-1}}\]and \[51\text{ }kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] respectively, then the value of is \[I{{E}_{2}}\]_____\[kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    A) 21        

    B) 33

    C) 59

    D) 63

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Successive ionization energy always increases for any species because the e/p ratio gradually decreases. Thus,
    \[\Alpha \xrightarrow{\Iota {{\Epsilon }_{1}}}{{\Alpha }^{+}}\xrightarrow{\Iota {{\Epsilon }_{2}}}{{\Alpha }^{2+}}\xrightarrow{\Iota {{\Epsilon }_{3}}}{{\Alpha }^{3+}}\to ...\]
    \[I{{E}_{1}}<I{{E}_{2}}<I{{E}_{3}}\]
    \[I{{E}_{1}}=27kJ/mo{{l}^{-1}}; I{{E}_{3}} = 51 kJ/mo{{l}^{-1}}\]
    \[I{{E}_{2}}\] can be exist between \[I{{E}_{1}}\And I{{E}_{3}}\] value Therefore option 'b' is correct, having value 33.
