    Which one of the following order is correct for the first ionisation energies of the elements?

    A)  \[52.15\]

    B)  \[911\]

    C)  \[104\]

    D)  \[52153\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     First ionisation energy increases in a period. Thus, the first IE of the elements of the second period should be as follows \[Be<B<N<O\] But in practice, the elements do not follow the above order. The first IE of these elements is \[B<Be<O<N\] The lower IE of B than that of Be is because in B \[(1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{1}})\], electron is to be removed from 2P which is easy while in Be \[(1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}})\], electron is to be removed from 2s which is difficult. The low IE of O than that of N is because of the half-filled 2p orbitals in \[(1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{3}})\]).
