MCQ
The transition metal having highest $3^{rd}$ ionisation enthalpy is :
  • A
    Cr
  • B
    Mn
  • C
    V
  • D
    Fe

Answer

$V : 2833 \  KJ / mol$
$Cr : 2990 \ KJ / mol$
$Mn : 3260 \ KJ / mol$
$Fe : 2962 \ KJ / mol$
alternative
$Mn: 3 d^5 4 s^2$
$Fe: 3 d^6 4 s^2$
$Cr: 3 d^5 4 s^1$
$V: 3 d^3 4 s^2$
So $Mn$ has highest $3^{rd}$ $IE$ among all the given elements due to $d ^5$ configuration.
