MCQ
Which of the following atomic species has maximum ionisation energy?
  • A
    $O^-$
  • $S^-$
  • C
    $Se^-$
  • D
    $Te^-$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$S^-$
b
In the periodic table the ionization energy decreases along a group from top to bottom, but for oxygen the axion feel more repultion in $2 p$-orbital than the $e^{-1}$ present in $3 p$ orbital of sulphur anion, so it becomes easy to remove an electron from the outer most shell of oxygen. Therefore $S$ - has maximum ionization energy.
