The first second and third ionisation energies

\left( {{E_1},{E_2}\,\,and\,\,{E_3}} \right)

for an element are

7\,\,eV,12.5\,\,eV

and

42.5\,\,eV

respectively. The most stable oxidation state of the element will be

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

+ 2

Option D (+2) is correct because there is a large jump in ionization energy between E2 and E3, indicating that the element readily loses two electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
