Q.
The value of IP1,IP2,IP3 and IP4 of an atom are respectively 7.5eV,25.6eV,48.6eV and 170.6eV. The electronic configuration of the atom will be :
It is observed that there is a sudden jump in the 4th ionization potential value. Hence, there are three valence electrons are present in the valence shell of the given atom.
