MCQ
The first ionisation potentials $(eV)$ of $Be$ and $B$ respectively are :-
  • A
    $8.29\, eV, 9.32\, eV$
  • B
    $9.32\, eV, 9.32\, eV$
  • C
    $8.29\, eV, 8.29\, eV$
  • $9.32\, eV, 8.29\, eV$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$9.32\, eV, 8.29\, eV$
d
The first ionization potentials $(e V)$ of $B e$ and $B$ respectively are $9.32,8,29 .$

According to theory as we move from lest to right in a period the ionization potential should increase but in case of $B e$ and $B$ Beryllium is having more ionization potential than Boran due to completely filled s orbital in Beryllium $\left(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2}\right)$.

Hence option D is correct.
