JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2022 - 27th July Evening Shift - No. 5)

Outermost electronic configurations of four elements A, B, C, D are given below :

(A) $$3 s^{2}$$

(B) $$3 s^{2} 3 p^{1}$$

(C) $$3 s^{2} 3 p^{3}$$

(D) $$3 s^{2} 3 p^{4}$$

The correct order of first ionization enthalpy for them is :

(A) < (B) < (C) < (D)
(B) < (A) < (D) < (C)
(B) < (D) < (A) < (C)
(B) < (A) < (C) < (D)

Explanation

Orbitals with fully filled and half-filled electronic configuration are stable, and require more energy for ionization

Elements with greater electronegativity require more energy for ionisation

Hence the correct order is $C>D>A>B$
