Solution

The correct option is C

Remove one mole of electron from one mole of monovalent gaseous cation of the element


The first ionization energy is the energy required to remove one mole of the most loosely held electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms to produce 1 mole of gaseous ions each with a charge of 1+

Second ionization energy is defined by the equation: It is the energy needed to remove a second electron from each ion in 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions to give gaseous 2+ ions.
