The correct order of ionisation energy of C, N, O , F is
Options
- AF < O < N < C
- BF < N < C < O
- CC < N < O < F
- DC < O < N < F
Correct answer
D. C < O < N < F
Step-by-step solution
Ionisation energy generally increases from left to right in a period but ionisation energy of nitrogen is greater than oxygen due to stable p ³ configuration. Hence, the order is as C < O < N < F
