    The value of second ionisation energy is highest for:

    A)  N                           

    B)  O                           

    C)  Be                         

    D)         Li

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    After losing one electron, these have, following configurations: \[{{\,}_{7}}{{N}^{+}}=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{2}}\] \[{{\,}_{8}}{{O}^{+}}=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{3}}\] \[{{\,}_{4}}B{{e}^{+}}=1{{s}_{2}},2{{s}^{1}}\] \[{{\,}_{3}}L{{i}^{+}}=1{{s}^{2}}\] As \[\text{L}{{\text{i}}^{\text{+}}}\]has the most stable electronic cofigurtion, its ionisation energy (i.e., \[\text{I}{{\text{E}}_{\text{2}}}\,\text{Li}\] of Li) will be the highest.
