Detailed Solution

IE of Li=520Kj/mol

1 mole of gaseous Li requires 520KJ of energy to ionise each atom. 1 mol=6.02×1023atoms

So, 1 atom =16.02 times 1023 mol

520KJ=520000 J=5.2×105 J

1 mol5.2×105 J

=7×10-37 mol5.2×105×10-3 J

=5.2×102 J

=520 J

IE of Na=495KJ/mol

1 mol495KJ energy

=23×10-323 mol495×10-3KJ

=495 J

So, energy required to convert Liand N a to their respective gaseous cations are 520 J and 495 J.

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
