| Q. |
The element with highest first ionization energy is - |
| A. | hydrogen |
| B. | helium |
| C. | lithium |
| D. | sodium |
| Answer» B. helium | |
|
Explanation: The first ionisation energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from one mole of gaseous atoms to produce 1 mole of gaseous ions each with a charge of 1+. The first first ionisation energy (in KJ per mole) of Hydrogen: around 1200:Helium: about 2500; Lithium: about 500; and Sodium: about 500. |
