  • question_answer
    Four successive members of the first row transition elements are listed below with their atomic numbers. Which one of them is expected to have the highest third ionization enthalpy   [CBSE PMT 2005]

    A) Vanadium (Z = 23)

    B) Chromium (Z = 24)

    C) Iron (Z = 26)

    D) Manganese (Z = 25)

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[_{25}Mn=3{{d}^{5}}4{{s}^{2}}\] After losing two electron electronic configuration will be like this \[{{(}_{25}}M{{n}^{++}}3d)\] and this is most stable configuration due to half filled orbitals hence third ionization enthalpy will be highest in this case.
