Which from following is a CORRECT decreasing order of ionization enthalpies of different elements?
Options
- AS > Se > Te > Po
- BTe > Po > S > Se
- CS > Te > Po > Se
- DTe > Po > Se > S
Correct answer
A. S > Se > Te > Po
Step-by-step solution
The ionization enthalpy decreases down the group due to increase in the atomic size. The correct decreasing order of ionization enthalpies is: S > Se > Te > Po
