(a)
Interpretation:
The elements with highest third ionization energy in periodic table hasto beidentified.
Concept introduction:
Ionization energy:
In a gaseous state isolated neutral atom, the amount of energy required to eject an electron from outermost shell is known as ionization energy. Ionization energy increases from left to right across periods due to increase of effective nuclear charge. Ionization energy decreases down the group due to addition of electrons enters into new orbital which is far from nucleus.
(b)
Interpretation:
The elements with highest seventh ionization energy in periodic table has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Ionization energy:
