MCQ
Which of the following has maximum difference in $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ ionisation enthalpy.
  • $ \ce{1 s^2, 2 s^2, 2 p^6, 3 s^1}$
  • B
    $\ce{1 s^2, 2 s^2, 2 p^6, 3 s^1 }$
  • C
    $ \ce{1 s^2, 2 s^2, 2 p^1} $
  • D
    $ \ce{1 s^2, 2 s^2, 2 p^6} $

Answer

Correct option: A.
$ \ce{1 s^2, 2 s^2, 2 p^6, 3 s^1}$
After losing one electron, it acquires stable electronic configuration, that is why second ionisation enthalpy is very high.
