Compare qualitatively the first and second ionisation potentials of copper and zinc. Explain the observation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
NA
`Zn=3d^(10) 4s^(2)`
`Cu=3d^(10) 4s^(1)`
The first lionisation energy is greater for `Zn` but reverse is true for 2nd ionisation energy.
