Arrange L I , Be , B and C in decreasing order of their first ionisation enthalpies.
Options
- ALi > B > Be > C
- BC > Li > Be > B
- CC > Be > B > Li
- DC > B > Be > Li
Correct answer
C. C > Be > B > Li
Step-by-step solution
As we go from left to right in period the ionisation potential increases but Be and B are exception as the Be has 1 s^2, 2 s^2 and boron has 1 s^2, 2 s^2, 2 p^1 so it's easy to remove electron from boron than berylium decreasing order of their first ionisation enthalpies. C > Be > B > Li So, option (3) is correct.
