The correct order in which the first ionisation potential increases is
Options
- ANa , K , Be
- BK , Na , Be
- CK, Be, Na
- DBe, Na, K
Correct answer
B. K , Na , Be
Step-by-step solution
The correct order in which first ionisation potential (IP) increases is K , Na , Be. On going down the group IP decreases while on going left to right IP increases.
