Explanation
Hint: The minimum amount of energy required to remove an electron from an isolated gaseous atom is called its ionization potential.
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Electronic configuration of the below elements are-
N=1s22s22p3
O=1s22s22p4
O+=1s22s22p3
Na=1s22s22p63s1
In option C, oxygen has already released one electron and it shows a half-filled configuration. So, it will require higher energy than the other elements to remove an electron from it.
Final Answer: O+ shows maximum ionization potential.
Ne>Cl>P>S>Mg>Al.
Hence, the correct answer is option B.
Which members of each of the following pairs of atoms has higher first ionisation enthalpy and why?
