Given below are two statements: Statement I: The second ionization enthalpy of B, Al and Ga is in the order of B > Al > Ga . Statement II: The correct order in terms of first ionization enthalpy is Si In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer

B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Step-by-step solution

Statement I: The second ionization enthalpy of Ga is higher than that of Al. This is due to the poor shielding effect of the ten 3d electrons in Ga, which increases the effective nuclear charge and holds the valence electrons more tightly. The correct order of second ionization enthalpy is B > Ga > Al . Thus, Statement I is false. Statement II: The first ionization enthalpy generally decreases down the group. However, Pb has a slightly higher ionization enthalpy than Sn due to the poor shielding of 4f and 5d electr
