Question
The first ionization enthalpies of four consecutive elements present in the second period of the periodic table are $8.3, 11.3, 14.5$ and $13.6\,\, eV,$  respectively. Which one of the following is the first ionization enthalpy of nitrogen ?

Answer

b
Elements in the 2nd period are: Period Elements II nd

Li Be BC N O F Nel In a period from left to right, ionization potential increases. But in case of nitrogen

and oxygen, nitrogen has more ionization potential than oxygen atom due to stable electronic configuration of nitrogen. $7 N=1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2} 2 p^{3} \mid$

$\uparrow\|\| \|$

(Stable configuration) $80=1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2} 2 p^{4}$ (Unstable configuration) Nitrogen has stable configuration as

the p-orbitals are half-filled completely. So, more energy is required to remove an electron from the outermost orbit of nitrogen atom. So, $\mathrm{N}_{2}$, has 14.5 value of ionisation potential.

Consider the two different first order reactions given below

$\mathrm{P} \rightarrow \mathrm{Q}$ (Reaction $2$)

The ratio of the half life of Reaction $1$ : Reaction $2$ is $5: 2$. If $t_1$ and $t_2$ represent the time taken to complete $2 / 3^{\text {dd }}$ and $4 / 5^{\text {dd }}$ of Reaction $1$ and

Reaction $2$, respectively, then the value of the ratio $\mathrm{t}_1: \mathrm{t}_2$ is . . . .$\times 10^{-1}$ (nearest integer).
