COMEDK2018ChemistryClassification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
In the following, the element with the highest ionisation energy is
Options
- A[Ne] 3 s², 3 p¹
- B[ Ne ] 3 s², 3 p³
- C[Ne] 3 s², 3 p²
- D[ Ne ] 3 s², 3 p⁴
Correct answer
B. [ Ne ] 3 s², 3 p³
Step-by-step solution
The element [Ne] 3 s² 3 p³ have half-filled p -orbital. As a result, it is more stable. The ionisation energy is highest for this element.
