  1. A \(\mathrm{Zn}>\mathrm{Cd} < \mathrm{Hg}\)
  2. B \(Z n>C d>H g\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Cd}>\mathrm{Hg} < \mathrm{Zn}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Zn} < \mathrm{Cd} < \mathrm{Hg}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Zn}>\mathrm{Cd} < \mathrm{Hg}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Key Point For similar electronic configuration of outer most shell, size will decide the value of ionisation energy. More the size, lesser is the value of ionisation energy. Electronic configuration - IInd I.E \(\mathrm{Zn}^{+}\) ion…
