Q49 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 1) · Chemistry

In which of the following options the order of arrangement does not agree with the variation of property indicated against it?

  • A
    Al3+<Mg2+<Na+<F- (increasing ionic size)
  • Correct answer
    B
    B<C<N<O (increasing first ionization enthalpy)
  • C
    I < Br < F < Cl (increasing electron gain enthalpy)
  • D
    Li<Na<K<Rb (increasing metallic radius)

Solution

N is having ns2 np3 (Half-filled configuration) which is extra stable electronic configuration, so high amount of energy will be required to remove outermost electron. Hence,N has high IP than O which is having ns2 np4 electronic configuration.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
