Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(520,496,419,374\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

First ionisation enthalpy increase with smaller size. Li is smallest. So, Li has highest first ionisation enthalpy. \[ \mathrm{Li}>\mathrm{Na}>\mathrm{K}>\mathrm{Cs} \text {. } \]
