    Which of the following electronic configurations corresponds to an elements with the lowest ionization energy?

    A) \[1{{s}^{2}},\,\,2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}\]

    B) \[1{{s}^{2}},\,\,2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},\,\,3{{s}^{1}}\]

    C) \[1{{s}^{2}},\,\,2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{5}}\]

    D) \[1{{s}^{2}},\,\,2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Electronic configuration of alkali metal is\[(1{{s}^{2}},\,\,2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{1}})\]. Thus it has the lowest value of ionization energy.
