Arrange \(L \dot{I}, \mathrm{Be}, \mathrm{B}\) and \(\mathrm{C}\) in decreasing order of their first ionisation enthalpies.

  1. A Li \(>\) B \(>\) Be \(>\) C
  2. B C \(>\) Li \(>\) Be \(>\) B
  3. C \(\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{Be}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{Li}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{Be}>\mathrm{Li}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{Be}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{Li}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we go from left to right in period the ionisation potential increases but \(\mathrm{Be}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) are exception as the Be has \(1 s^2, 2 s^2\) and boron has \(1 s^2, 2 s^2, 2 p^1\) so it's easy to remove electron from boron than berylium decreasing order of their…
