Which ionization process requires the most energy? A)Al(g)→ Al⁺(g)+ e^- B)Al⁺(g)→ Al²⁺(g)+ e^- C)Al²⁺(g)→ Al³⁺(g)+ e^- D)Al³⁺(g)→ Al⁴⁺(g)+ e^-

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ionization process that requires the most energy is the one that removes the electron from the highest energy level. In this case, option D involves the removal of an electron from the third energy level, which requires more energy than the other options where electrons are removed from the first and second energy levels.
