MCQ
When first ionisation energy is plotted against the atomic number, the peaks in curve are occupied by
  • A
    halogens
  • rare gases
  • C
    alkali metals
  • D
    transition elements

Answer

Correct option: B.
rare gases
b
Generally, the first ionization energy increases as we go across a period.

Hence, the maximum peaks in the curve are occupied by rare gases. This is because they require more energy to disturb the stable configuration that they have attained
