JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2013 (Offline) - No. 22)

Which of the following represents the correct order of increasing first ionization enthalpy for Ca, Ba, S, Se and Ar?
S < Se < Ca < Ba < Ar
Ba < Ca < Se < S < Ar
Ca < Ba < S < Se < Ar
Ca < S < Ba < Se < Ar

Explanation

Those elements are present in periodic table like this -

Group 2 Group 16 Group 18
Period 3 Ca .......... S ......... Ar
Period 4 Se
Period 5 Ba

In periodic table,

1. From left to right ionization energy increases.

2. From top to bottom ionization energy decreases.

$$ \therefore $$ Ba < Ca and Se < S and S < Ar

$$ \therefore $$ Correct order is -

Ba < Ca < Se < S < Ar
