Which of the following transitions involves maximum energy? (1) M^(-) (g) to M(g) (2) M^(2+) (g) to M^(3+) (g) (3) M^(+) (g) to M^(2+) (g) (4) M(g) to M^(+) (g)

Which of the following transitions involves maximum energy? (1) M^(-)

1.	Which of the following transitions involves maximum energy? (1) M^(-) (g) to M(g) (2) M^(2+) (g) to M^(3+) (g) (3) M^(+) (g) to M^(2+) (g) (4) M(g) to M^(+) (g)
Answer» Solution :`IE_(3) GT IE_(2) gt IE_(1)` HENCE `M^(2+) to M^(3+)`. i.e, is MAXIMUM
