The first eight íonisation energies for ...

The first eight íonisation energies for a particular neutral atom is as given below. Which oxidation states are not possible of the atom?

A

`-2`

B

`-3`

C

`-6`

D

`+6`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C
There is a larger jump in the IE to IE,, so removal of 7th electron is very difficult. Hence, the oxidation state of the neutral atom can be +6 or (6-8)=-2.
