Which of the following is the correct order of ionisationenthalpy ?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
(1) Be has completely filled stable valence shell configuration i.e. 2s2 while in Be+ because of positive charge, the removal of electron requires much higher energy. So, ionisation energy of Be+ is greater than Be.
(3) Across the period, atomic size decreases and nuclear charge increases and thus valence shell electron(s) is/are tightly held by nucleus. So, ionisation energy of C is greater than Be.
