  • question_answer
    The highest first ionisation potential is of:

    A)  carbon                                

    B)  boron

    C)  oxygen                               

    D)  nitrogen

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Electronic configuration of carbon\[=1{{s}^{2}},\,\,2{{s}^{2}},\,\,2{{p}^{2}}\] Electronic configuration of boron\[=1{{s}^{2}},\,\,2{{s}^{2}},\,\,2{{p}^{1}}\] Electronic configuration of oxygen\[=1{{s}^{2}},\,\,2{{s}^{2}},\,\,2{{p}^{4}}\] Electronic configuration of nitrogen\[=1{{s}^{2}},\,\,2{{s}^{2}},\,\,2{{p}^{3}}\] Among these nitrogen has the highest ionization potential because in nitrogen atom, the outer most electron is present in half filled \[2{{p}_{z}}\] sub shell. Which is a stable electronic configuration.
