The correct order in which the first ionisation potential increases is
Options
- ANa , K , Be
- BK , Na , Be
- CK , Be , Na
- DBe , Na , K
Correct answer
B. K , Na , Be
Step-by-step solution
The first ionisation potential generally increases in a period from left to right and decreases in a group from up to down. Thus, the correct order of first ionisation potential is K < Na < Be
