Four successive members of the first two transition elements are listed below with their atomic numbers. Which one of them is expected to have the highest third ionisation enthalpy?
Options
- Avanadium
- Bchromium
- Cmanganese
- Diron
Correct answer
C. manganese
Step-by-step solution
(22)
(23)

The value of the third ionization enthalpy will be the largest in the case of manganese as the electrons in the orbitals are in half-filled stable electronic configuration and a very large amount of energy is required to overcome this effect.
