The set representing the correct order for first ionisation potential is
Options
- A( K Na Li )
- B( Be Mg Ca )
- CB ( ) C ( ) N
- D( Ge Si C )
Correct answer
B. ( Be Mg Ca )
Step-by-step solution
The IP decreases in a group on moving downward because atomic radius increases hence the correct order is : ( Be Mg Ca )
