Sequences and Trends | MCQs

Explanation

• Successive ionization energies refer to the energy required to remove electrons one by one from an atom, resulting in the formation of a series of ions with increasing charge.
• This process involves the sequential removal of electrons from an atom, with each removal requiring a specific amount of energy, known as the ionization energy.
• The term "successive" refers to the fact that the electrons are removed one by one, in a specific order, with each removal building on the previous one.
