    The correct order of decreasing first ionization energy is

    A) C > B > Be > Li   

    B)        C > Be > B > Li   

    C)                        B > C > Be > Li   

    D)        Be > Li > B > C

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    lonisation energy increases with decrease in size from moving left to right in a period. But due to stable \[n{{s}^{2}}\] configuration first ionization energy of group IIA elements is higher than that of group IIIA elements. Hence, correct option is C > Be > B > Li.
