The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the incorrect statements regarding ionization energy, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ionization Energy**: - Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the outermost electron from an atom or ion in its gaseous state. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - **Statement**: "Ionization energy of atom may be negative." - **Analysis**: Ionization energy cannot be negative because it represents energy required to remove an electron. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - **Statement**: "Ionization energy of an ion may be negative." - **Analysis**: Similar to the first statement, ionization energy cannot be negative for ions either. It always requires energy to remove an electron. Thus, this statement is also incorrect. 4. **Analyzing Statement 3**: - **Statement**: "Ionization energy is inversely proportional to radius." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. As the atomic radius increases, the outermost electron is further from the nucleus, resulting in a weaker attraction and lower ionization energy. 5. **Analyzing Statement 4**: - **Statement**: "Electron present in P orbital is in need of less energy for its removal as compared to electron present in D orbital having the same principal quantum number." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Electrons in the D orbital are generally further from the nucleus and experience less effective nuclear charge compared to P orbital electrons. Therefore, removing an electron from a D orbital requires less energy than from a P orbital. Thus, this statement is also incorrect. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statements are: - Statement 1: "Ionization energy of atom may be negative." - Statement 2: "Ionization energy of an ion may be negative." - Statement 4: "Electron present in P orbital is in need of less energy for its removal as compared to electron present in D orbital having the same principal quantum number." ### Final Answer: The incorrect statements are 1, 2, and 4. ---
