Choose the correct ascending order of the second ionisation enthalpies of the given metals.
A. \(\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{Z}=26)\)
B. \(\mathrm{Mn}(Z=25)\)
C. \(V(Z=23)\)
D. \(\mathrm{Cr}(Z=24)\)

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{C} <\mathrm{B} <\mathrm{A} <\mathrm{D}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The second ionisation enthalpy involves the removal of an electron from the \(M^{+}\) ion. The electronic configurations of the \(M^{+}\) ions are as follows: V (\(Z=23\)): \([Ar] 3d^3 4s^1\). Removing one electron gives \(V^{+}\): \([Ar] 3d^3 4s^1\). The second ionisation…
