A sudden large jump between the value of first and second ionisation energies of elements would be associated with which of the following electronic configurations?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
1s2,2s22p6,3s11{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^1}
Option A (1s2,2s22p6,3s11{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^1}) is correct because removing the single electron from the 3s orbital results in a stable noble gas configuration, making the second ionization energy significantly higher.
