Question

Outermost electronic configurations of four elements A, B, C, D are given below :

(A)

(B)

(C)

(D)

The correct order of first ionization enthalpy for them is :

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
B(B) < (A) < (D) < (C)

Step-by-step explanation

Orbitals with fully filled and half-filled electronic configuration are stable, and require more energy for ionization

Elements with greater electronegativity require more energy for ionisation

Hence the correct order is
