MCQ
With which of the following electronic configuration an atom has the lowest ionisation enthalpy ?
  • A
    $1s^2 \ 2s^2 \ 2p^3$
  • $1s^2 \ 2s^2 \ 2p^5 \ 3s^1$
  • C
    $1s^2\ 2s^2\ 2p^6$
  • D
    $1s^2 \ 2s^2 \ 2p^5$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$1s^2 \ 2s^2 \ 2p^5 \ 3s^1$
b
The larger the atomic size, smaller is the value of the ionisation enthalpy. Again higher the screening effect, lesser is the value of ionisation potential.
