    Identify the least stable ion amongst the following.

    A) \[L{{i}^{-}}\]                                      

    B) \[B{{e}^{-}}\]                    

    C)  \[{{B}^{-}}\]                      

    D)         \[{{C}^{-}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[L{{i}^{-}}=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}\] (In it all subshell are saturated so, it is stable) \[B{{e}^{-}}=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}},2{{p}^{1}}\] (too much unstable) \[{{B}^{-}}=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}},2{{p}^{2}}\] (less stable) \[{{C}^{-}}=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}},2{{p}^{3}}\] (stable due to presence of half-filled 2p-subshell)
