In comparison to boron, berylium has:
Options
- Agreater nuclear charge and lesser first ionisation enthalpy
- Blesser nuclear charge and greater first ionisation enthalpy
- Clesser nuclear charge and lesser first ionisation enthalpy.
- Dgreater nuclear charge and greater first ionisation enthalpy.
Correct answer
B. lesser nuclear charge and greater first ionisation enthalpy
Step-by-step solution
Electronic configuration of Be = 1 s 2   2 s 2 Electronic configuration of B = 1 s 2   2 s 2   2 p 1 Due to full-filled configuration of Beryllium, it has higher first ionization energy. Effective nuclear charge Z e f f of Be = 4 - σ = 4 - 2 × 0.85 + 0.35 × 1 = 2.05 Z e f f of B = 5 - σ = 5 - 2 × 0.85 + 0.35 × 2 = 2.6 ∴ Z e f f of B > Z e f f of Be
