Question

 

The successive ionisation energy values for an element ‘X’ are given below: 

1st ionisation energy = 410 kJ mol–1

2nd ionisation energy = 820 kJ mol–1

3rd ionisation energy = 1100 kJ mol–1

4th ionisation energy = 1500 kJ mol–1

5th ionisation energy = 3200 kJ mol–1

Find out the number of valence electrons for the atom ‘X’. 

Solution

Correct option is

4

In the given values, there is a biggest jump between IE4 and IE5. Hence, there are four valence electrons for the atom X.
