Which from following series of elements is CORRECTLY arranged according to their decreasing order of ionization enthalpy ( IE ₁ ) ?
Options
- AZn > Fe > Cr > Sc
- BCr > Fe > Zn > Sc
- CSc > Fe > Cr > Zn
- DCr > Zn > Sc > Fe
Correct answer
A. Zn > Fe > Cr > Sc
Step-by-step solution
The ionization enthalpy ( IE ₁ ) of the elements of the 3 ~d transition series increases gradually from left to right with some irregularities. Therefore, the decreasing order of ionization enthalpy ( IE ₁ ) is: Zn > Fe > Cr > Sc
