QNEET-2019-Ch-773: NEET 2019 Chemistry - Class 11 NEET-2019-Ch-773 Solution: For the second period elements the correct increasing order of…

For the second period elements the correct increasing order of first ionization enthalpy is: Li < B < Be < C < N < O < F < Ne Li < Be < B < C < O < N < F < Ne Li < B < Be < C < O < N < F < Ne Li < Be < B < C < N < O < F < Ne

Multiple Choice Options

  • A Li < B < Be < C < N < O < F < Ne
  • B Li < Be < B < C < O < N < F < Ne
  • C Li < B < Be < C < O < N < F < Ne
  • D Li < Be < B < C < N < O < F < Ne

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Ionisation enthalpy increases in a period from left to right, because of increased nuclear charge and decrease in atomic radii. But because of half filled orbitals of Be, N and fully filled orbitals of Ne, stability of those atoms inceases. So, the correct increasing order of first ionisation enthalpy will be : Li < B < Be < C < O < N < F < Ne
