    The correct order of ionization energy of C, N, O, F is

    A)  F < O < N < C   

    B)         F < N < C < O

    C)  C < N < O < F   

    D)         C < O < N < F

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Ionization energy generally increases from left to right in a period but ionization energy of nitrogen is greater than oxygen due to stable \[{{p}^{3}}\]configuration. Hence, the order is as                 \[C<O<N<F\]
