MCQ
A large difference between the fourth and fifth ionization energies indicates the presence of
- A$5$ valence electrons in an atom
- B$6$ valence electrons in an atom
- ✓$4$ valence electrons in an atom
- D$8$ valence electrons in an atom
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$4$ valence electrons in an atom
c
The large difference between fourth and fifth ionization energies is due to The Atom can have $4$ electron excess to get stable. On losing the $4$ electrons it gets stability. So it cannot able to lose another electron easily that's why it has high fifth $I.P$
