    I don't have the data booklet, but perhaps can try adding up 1st and 2nd IE of Al. Then see which of the options 1st IE + 2nd IE gives the same value.

    w09qp12 Q40. Requires a bit of reasoning, if 1 mole of monomer join together, we will get less than 1 mole of polymer. If we end up with 1 mole of polymer in the end, it means none of the monomer has joined to any other! Its like 1000 bricks (monomer) will build one house (polymer) , the...
