    Which of the following presents the correct order of second ionization enthalpies of C, N, O and F?   JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 26-May-2012)  

    A) \[F>O>N>C\]    

    B)                        \[O>N>F>C\]

    C)                        \[C>N>O>F\]    

    D)                        \[O>F>N>C\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    In a period the value of ionisation potential increases from left to right with breaks where the atoms have some what stable configuration. After removing an \[{{e}^{-}}\]oxygen will acquire stable configuration. Hence \[{{O}^{+}}\]has highest second ionization enthalpy than \[{{F}^{+}}\] and \[{{N}^{+}}.\] \[\therefore \]correct order is O> F > N > C
