JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 3. Classification of elements and periodicity in properties

The correct trend in the first ionization enthalpies of the elements in the \(3^{rd}\) period of periodic table is:

  1. A \(Al < Si < S < P < Cl\)
  2. B \(Al < S < P < Si < Cl\)
  3. C \(Si < S < Al < P < Cl\)
  4. D \(S < Si < Al < P < Cl\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(Al < Si < S < P < Cl\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In general on moving from left to right in a period ionization energy increases as \(Z_{eff}\) increases. (Ionisation energy of phosphorus is more because of half filled stable configuration)
