Question

The ionization energy will be maximum for process-

• A. $Ba\to B{a}^{2+}$
• B. $Be\to B{e}^{2+}$
• C. $Cs\to C{s}^{+}$
• D. $Li\to L{i}^{+}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $Be\to B{e}^{2+}$

Ionization energy increases along the period and decreases down the group. So, ionization energy for Be will be maximum.
