Which of the following relation is correct ?
Options
- AI ^ st IE of C I ^ st IE of B
- BI ^ st IE of C I ^ st IE of B
- CII ^ nd IE of C II ^ nd IE of B
- DBoth (b) and (c)
Correct answer
A. I ^ st IE of C I ^ st IE of B
Step-by-step solution
The minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an isolated gaseous atom so as to convert it into a gaseous cation, is called its ionisation energy. Because the size of C is smaller than that of the B due to effective nuclear charge, hence I ^ st IE of C I ^ st IE of B
