Atomic structure — practice question

Which equation shows the second ionisation energy of an element X?

  • A$\text{X(g)} \rightarrow \text{X}^{2+}\text{(g)} + 2\text{e}^-$
  • B$\text{X}^+\text{(g)} \rightarrow \text{X}^{2+}\text{(g)} + \text{e}^-$
  • C$\text{X(g)} + 2\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{X}^{2-}\text{(g)}$
  • D$\text{X}^-\text{(g)} + \text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{X}^{2-}\text{(g)}$
