Question

The 1st, 2nd, and the 3rd ionization enthalpies, I1, I2, and I3 of four atoms with atomic numbers n,n+1,n+2, and n+3, where n<10, are tabulated below.
what is the value of n?

Solution

According to the tabulated data, element with atomic number (n+2), should be an alkali metal because first ionization enthalpy (l1) is very less but second ionization enthalpy(l2) is very large.
Hence, (n+2) = 11
n = 9
