The correct order of first ionisation enthalpy of given elements is
Options
- ALi < B < Be < C
- BBe < Li < B < C
- CC < B < Be < Li
- DLi < Be < B < C
Correct answer
A. Li < B < Be < C
Step-by-step solution
Ionisation enthalpy of elements generally increases on going from left to right along a period. But Be nane half-filled electronic configuration which requires more energy to ionise as compare to B . Thus, the correct order will be Li < B < Be < C .
