Which of the following order of ionisation energy is correct?
Options
- AB Be N C
- BBe B C N
- CB Be C N
- DBe B C N
Correct answer
C. B Be C N
Step-by-step solution
Ionisation energy generally increase in a period from left to right. But due to comparatively stabler configuration of Be (1 s^2, 2 s^2 ) , it has more ionisation energy than Boron (1 s^2, 2 s^2, 2 p^1 ) . Hence, the correct order is : B Be C N
