MCQ
Order of first ionization potentials of elements $Li, Be, B, Na$ is
  • A
    $Li > Be >B > Na$
  • $Be >B > Li > Na$
  • C
    $Na > Li > B > Be$
  • D
    $Be > Li > B > Na$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$Be >B > Li > Na$
b
(b) Ionization potential increases as we go from left to right in a period, while it decreases as we come down a group.

$Be\,\,\,\,\, B \,\,\,\,\,Li\,\,\,\,\, Na$
$9.3 \,\,\,\,8.3 \,\,\,\,5.4 \,\,\,\,5.1$
