The first eight ionisation energies for ...

The first eight ionisation energies for a particular neutral atom is as given below. All values are expressed in `kJ mol^(-1)`. Which oxidation states `(s)` is`//`are not possible of the atom ?
`{:(1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th,6th,7th,8th,),(1.31,3.39,5.30,7.47,10.99,13.33,71.33,84.01,):}`

`-2`

`-3`

`-6`

`6`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

B, C, D

There is a larger jump in the `IE_(6)` to `IE_(7)`, so removal of `7th` electron is very very difficult.
Hence, the oxidation state of the neutral atom can be `+6` or `(6-8) = -2`.
