Which from following is a CORRECT decreasing order of ionisation enthalpy for different elements?
Options
- AAr > Ne > S > Cl
- BNe > Ar > Cl > S
- CNe > S > Cl > Ar
- DCl > S > Ne > Ar
Correct answer
B. Ne > Ar > Cl > S
Step-by-step solution
The ionisation enthalpy decreases down the group due to increase in the atomic size. Therefore, ionisation enthalpy of Ne is more than that of Ar. Across a period ionisation enthalpy increases with increase of atomic number. Therefore, ionisation enthalpy of S , Cl and Ar is in the order: S Ar > Cl > S
