    The correct order of ionisation energy of C, N,O and F is

    A)  \[F<N<C<O\]

    B)  \[C<N<O<F\]

    C)  \[C<O<N<F\]

    D)  \[F<O<N<C\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    : In a period, the value of ionisation enthalpy increases from left to right with irregularity where the atoms have somewhat stable configurations. In nitrogen (second period) 2p- orbitals are half filled leading to higher value of ionisation energy than oxygen. Hence, the order is \[\underset{(1086)}{\mathop{C}}\,<\underset{(1314)}{\mathop{O}}\,<\underset{(1402)}{\mathop{N}}\,<\underset{(1681)}{\mathop{F}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,kj\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]
