The correct order of decreasing second ionisation enthalpy of Ti (22), V (23), Cr (24) and Mn (25) is
Options
- ATi > V > Cr > Mn
- BCr > Mn > V > Ti
- CV > Mn > Cr > Ti
- DMn > Cr > Ti > V
Correct answer
B. Cr > Mn > V > Ti
Step-by-step solution
Cr (24) [ Ar ] 3 d^5 4 s^1 After removing one electron from chromium, the resulting structure becomes more stable. Hence Cr has higher second ionisation enthalpy. Thus, the correct order is Cr > Mn > V > Ti
