MCQ
Which one of the following statements is incorrect in relation to ionisation enthalpy ?
  • A
    Ionization enthalpy increases for each successive electron
  • B
    The greatest increase in ionization enthalpy is experienced on removal of electron from core of noble gas configuration
  • C
    Determination of valence electrons is marked by a large jump in ionization enthalpy
  • Removal of electron from orbitals bearing lower $n$ value is easier than from orbital having higher $n$ value.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Removal of electron from orbitals bearing lower $n$ value is easier than from orbital having higher $n$ value.
d
Orbitals bearing lower value of $n$ will be more closer to the nucleus and thus electrons will experience greater attraction from nucleus and so its removal will be difficult not easier.
