MCQ
Which of the following order is correct for the property mentioned in brackets?
  • A
    $S^{2-} > Cl^-> K^+ > Ca^{2+}$    (Ionisation energy)
  • $C < N < F < O$     $(2^{nd}\, I.E.)$
  • C
    $B > Al > Ga > In > T\ell $     (Electronegativity)
  • D
    $N < Li < B < O < C$      (Electron affinity)

Answer

Correct option: B.
$C < N < F < O$     $(2^{nd}\, I.E.)$
b
The second ionisation energy means the energy required to remove the electron from the

corresponding monovalent cation of the respective atom. For $I E_{2}$, electronic configuration of

$C^{+}, N^{+}, O^{+}$ and $F^{+}$ -ions which are as follows. $C^{+}=2 s^{2}, 2 p 1$

$N^{+}=2 s^{2}, 2 p^{2}$

$O^{+}=2 s^{2}, 2 p^{3}$

$F^{+}=2 s^{2}, 2 p^{4}$

$\because O^{+}$ is half-filed configuration, obviously it is most stable and greater ionisation energy than

$F^{+}$ as well as $N^{+}$.

The ionisation energy of an element depends upon its size as. Hence, correct order will be, $O>$ $F>N>C$
