The electronic configuration of elements A, B and C are [ He ] 2 s^1,[ Ne ] 3 s^1 and [Ar] 4 s^1 respectively, which one of the following order is correct for the first ionization potentials (in kJ mol ⁻¹ ) of A, B and C ?
Options
- AA>B>C
- BC>B>A
- CB>C>A
- DC>A>B
Correct answer
A. A>B>C
Step-by-step solution
Ionisation potential of A, B and C elements decreases with the ease of removal of electron from A to C . Atomic size increase from A to C , hence ionisation potential decrease in the same order. So, order of ionisation potential is A>B>C
