The set representing the correct order of first ionisation potential is
Options
- AK Na Li
- BBe Mg Ca
- CB C N
- DGe Si C
Correct answer
B. Be Mg Ca
Step-by-step solution
The first ionisation potential ( IE ₁ ) decreases from top to bottom in a group. Hence, the order of ionisation potential is as : Be Mg Ca
