1. Define ionisation enthalpy. 2. IE1 < IE2 <IE3What is meant by this? Justify. |

Answer» 1. Ionisation enthalpy is the amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an isolated gaseous atom in its ground state. 2. It shows the increasing order the magnitude of successive ionization enthalpies. As the positive charge of the ion increases, it becomes more difficult to remove the valence electron due to increase in effective nuclear charge. |
