There is a large increase in ionization energy between the second and the third ionization energies of a metal. What kind of ion is the metal likely to form? Include the charge in your answer.

Verified Answer :

diene

Since there is a large energy increase between the removal of the 2nd and 3rd electrons, this metal has 2 valence electrons. Therefore, it is likely to make a cation of charge +2.

The type of ion that is most likely to produce along with the charge would be:

- An ion with a 2+ charge

  • 'Ionization' is described as the process that causes dissociation or separation of an atom or molecule that is neutral into various charged particles called ions.
  • For example, the ions may include the atoms of chlorine or sodium in a solution made of salt.
  • In the given situation, an increase in the energy produced by ionization amongst the second and third ionized powers(energy) possessed by metal would lead to generating an 'ion having 2+ charge.'
