IE1,IE2 are the respective ionisation enthalpies of elements A,B,C and D

Which of the above is likely to be: A reactive metal A reactive non metal A noble gas A metal that forms binary halide of the formula AX2

sam (.sam.):

As you know noble gases have high ionization energy because it already has full valence electron (Octet rule is achieved). Ionization energy is the energy required to remove a valence electron. Noble gases requires high energy to remove electrons because it has all 8 electrons at the outermost shell. A. for noble gases

sam (.sam.):

B. for reactive metal (Alkali metal) because all group 1 metals have only 1 valence electron, so, it takes very little energy to remove that electron. After removing that electron, the alkali metal has 8 valence electrons. Example: Before removing: 2.8.8.1 After removing: 2.8.8 So, for the second removal of electron, (Also called second Ionization energy) is huge. Because it has full octet.
