Question
From each set, choose the atom which has largest ionisation enthalpy and explain your answer:
  1. F, O, N
  2. Mg, P, Ar
  3. B, Al, Ga

Answer

  1. F has highest ionisation enthalpy due to smallest atomic size, therefore, highest effective nuclear charge because it has 9 protons, O has 8 protons and N has 7 protons.
  2. Ar has highest ionisation enthalpy due to stable electronic configuration.

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

  1. B has highest ionisation enthalpy due to smallest atomic size and, therefore, highest effective nuclear charge, has two shells only. Al has 3 shells, Ga has 4 shells.
