Option (i) would have the highest 2nd Ionization Energy.

Option (i) is Sodium.

Can be Written as 2, 8 , 1

For its 1st Ionization energy... It'd be extremely easy to remove that Electron cos its on the outermost shell.

Now After Removing that Electron...

Sodium's Electronic Configuration Reduces to that of Neon Which is 2, 8.

Neon has a very stable Octet.

It would take an ENORMOUS amount of energy to break its Octet stability... that is... Remove 1 electron from its Octet.

So

Option (i) [Sodium] has the highest 2nd Ionization Energy

On increasing which of the following factors, decreases the extent of physisorption? Surface area of the adsorbent Critical temp
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: On increasing temperature at which adsorption is carried out decreases the extent of physisorption.

Explanation:

An adsorption where molecules of the adsorbate are placed or held on the surface of adsorbent by Vander waals forces is called physisorption.

There is basically physical bonding between the molecules of gas to the surface of a solid or liquid.

Physisorption is reversible in nature and occurs at low temperatures.

It is not specific in nature which means that all gases are adsorbed on the surface of every solid substance to some extent.

Thus, we can conclude that on increasing temperature at which adsorption is carried out decreases the extent of physisorption.
