Detailed Solution

  • In first ionization energy, we remove electron from a neutral atom, but for second ionization energy, we have to remove electron from a positive atom, where electrons are more tightly bounded due to increased nuclear attraction force and small size of cation than its neutral atom.
  • Hence, second ionization energy is high relative to first IP.
