`A rarr A^(+)+e,E_(1)` and `A^(+) rarr A^(2+)+e,E_(2)`. The energy required to pull out the two electrons are `E_(1)` and `E_(2)` respectively. The correct relationship between two energy would be

Options

A. `E_(1) gt E_(2)`
B. `E_(1) = E_(2)`
C. `E_(1) lt E_(2)`
D. `E_(1) != E_(2)`

Answer

C

Explanation

`E_(1) lt E_(2)` because second `IE` is greater than first `IE`.
