In the process of ionization, what is the relationship between the second ionization energy (i2) and the third ionization energy (i3)? i2 > i3 i2 < i3 i2 = i3 there is no way to predict this relationship.

Explanation: Ionization energy is the energy required to remove electron from a gaseous atom.

Nucleus of an atom attracts the electrons towards it as the nucleus has positively charged protons and electrons are negatively charged. There is attraction between these oppositely charged particles. Greater is the nucleus charger harder is to remove the electron.

stands for second ionization energy means the energy required to remove second electron and stands for third ionization energy means the energy required to remove the third electron.

As we keep removing electrons, its harder to remove the next electron as the nucleus becomes more positive and it has more attraction towards for the electrons.

So, third ionization energy is greater than second ionization energy. It's the general trend.

So, the correct choice is. .

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
