Consider the elements $Mg$,$Al$,$S$,$P$ and $Si$. The correct increasing order of their first ionization enthalpy is:
A
$Mg < Al < Si < S < P$
B
$Al < Mg < Si < S < P$
C
$Mg < Al < Si < P < S$
D
$Al < Mg < S < Si < P$

Solution

(B) In general,from left to right in a period,the first ionization enthalpy increases due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.
However,due to the extra stability of half-filled $(p^3)$ and fully-filled $(s^2)$ electronic configurations,the ionization enthalpy of certain elements is higher than their neighbors.
The electronic configurations are: $Mg$ $([Ne] 3s^2)$,$Al$ $([Ne] 3s^2 3p^1)$,$Si$ $([Ne] 3s^2 3p^2)$,$P$ $([Ne] 3s^2 3p^3)$,and $S$ $([Ne] 3s^2 3p^4)$.
Due to the stable $s^2$ configuration of $Mg$,its ionization enthalpy is higher than $Al$.
Due to the stable half-filled $p^3$ configuration of $P$,its ionization enthalpy is higher than $S$.
Thus,the correct increasing order is $Al < Mg < Si < S < P$.

Match List-$I$ with List-$II$:
List-$I$ (Electronic configuration)List-$II$ ($\Delta_{i}H$ in $kJ\ mol^{-1}$)
$(a)$ $1s^{2} 2s^{2}$$(i)$ $801$
$(b)$ $1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{4}$$(ii)$ $899$
$(c)$ $1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{3}$$(iii)$ $1314$
$(d)$ $1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{1}$$(iv)$ $1402$

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A
$(a)$ $\rightarrow (ii), (b)$ $\rightarrow (iii), (c)$ $\rightarrow (iv), (d)$ $\rightarrow (i)$
B
$(a)$ $\rightarrow (i), (b)$ $\rightarrow (iv), (c)$ $\rightarrow (iii), (d)$ $\rightarrow (ii)$
C
$(a)$ $\rightarrow (i), (b)$ $\rightarrow (iii), (c)$ $\rightarrow (iv), (d)$ $\rightarrow (ii)$
D
$(a)$ $\rightarrow (iv), (b)$ $\rightarrow (i), (c)$ $\rightarrow (ii), (d)$ $\rightarrow (iii)$

Solution

(A) The electronic configurations correspond to the following elements:
$(a)$ $1s^{2} 2s^{2} \rightarrow Be$ (Beryllium)
$(b)$ $1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{4} \rightarrow O$ (Oxygen)
$(c)$ $1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{3} \rightarrow N$ (Nitrogen)
$(d)$ $1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{1} \rightarrow B$ (Boron)
Ionization enthalpy ($\Delta_{i}H$) values are influenced by electronic stability:
$Be$ $(2s^{2})$ has a fully filled orbital,making its $IE$ higher than $B$ $(2s^{2} 2p^{1})$.
$N$ $(2p^{3})$ has a half-filled $p$-orbital,making its $IE$ higher than $O$ $(2p^{4})$.
The values are:
$N = 1402 \ kJ\ mol^{-1}$
$O = 1314 \ kJ\ mol^{-1}$
$Be = 899 \ kJ\ mol^{-1}$
$B = 801 \ kJ\ mol^{-1}$
Matching:
$(a) \rightarrow (ii)$
$(b) \rightarrow (iii)$
$(c) \rightarrow (iv)$
$(d) \rightarrow (i)$
Therefore,the correct option is $(a)$ $\rightarrow (ii), (b)$ $\rightarrow (iii), (c)$ $\rightarrow (iv), (d)$ $\rightarrow (i)$.

The $CORRECT$ order of first ionisation enthalpy is:
A
$Mg < Al < S < P$
B
$Al < Mg < S < P$
C
$Mg < Al < P < S$
D
$Mg < S < Al < P$

Solution

(B) The electronic configurations of the elements are:
$Mg (Z=12): [Ne] 3s^2$
$Al (Z=13): [Ne] 3s^2 3p^1$
$P (Z=15): [Ne] 3s^2 3p^3$
$S (Z=16): [Ne] 3s^2 3p^4$
$1$. $Mg$ has a fully filled $3s$ orbital,making it more stable than $Al$,so $I.E._{Mg} > I.E._{Al}$.
$2$. $P$ has a half-filled $3p$ subshell $(3p^3)$,which is highly stable,making its $I.E.$ higher than that of $S$ $(3p^4)$.
$3$. Across a period,$I.E.$ generally increases. Combining these factors,the order is $Al < Mg < S < P$.

MediumMCQ
Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: The first ionization enthalpy for oxygen is lower than that of nitrogen.
Reason $R$: The four electrons in $2p$ orbitals of oxygen experience more electron-electron repulsion.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.
A
Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
B
Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.
C
$A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct.
D
$A$ is not correct but $R$ is correct.

Solution

(A) The electronic configuration of $N$ $(Z=7)$ is $1s^2 2s^2 2p^3$,which has a stable half-filled $p$-orbital.
The electronic configuration of $O$ $(Z=8)$ is $1s^2 2s^2 2p^4$.
Due to the half-filled stability of the $2p$ subshell in nitrogen,it requires more energy to remove an electron compared to oxygen.
In oxygen,the $2p^4$ configuration means that two electrons must occupy the same $2p$ orbital,leading to increased inter-electronic repulsion,which makes it easier to remove an electron.
Thus,both Assertion $A$ and Reason $R$ are correct,and $R$ is the correct explanation for $A$.
305
MediumMCQ
The first ionization enthalpies of $Be$,$B$,$N$ and $O$ follow the order...
A
$O < N < B < Be$
B
$Be < B < N < O$
C
$B < Be < N < O$
D
$B < Be < O < N$

Solution

(D) The electronic configurations are: $Be (2s^2)$,$B (2s^2 2p^1)$,$N (2s^2 2p^3)$,$O (2s^2 2p^4)$.
Due to the stable fully-filled $2s$ orbital,$Be$ has a higher ionization enthalpy than $B$.
Due to the stable half-filled $2p$ orbital,$N$ has a higher ionization enthalpy than $O$.
The overall order of first ionization enthalpy is $B < Be < O < N$.

Outermost electronic configurations of four elements $A, B, C, D$ are given below:
$A: 3s^{2}$
$B: 3s^{2} 3p^{1}$
$C: 3s^{2} 3p^{3}$
$D: 3s^{2} 3p^{4}$
The correct order of first ionization enthalpy for them is:
A
$A < B < C < D$
B
$B < A < D < C$
C
$B < A < C < D$
D
$B < D < A < C$

Solution

(B) The elements are identified as:
$A: 3s^{2} \rightarrow Mg$
$B: 3s^{2} 3p^{1} \rightarrow Al$
$C: 3s^{2} 3p^{3} \rightarrow P$
$D: 3s^{2} 3p^{4} \rightarrow S$
Ionization enthalpy generally increases across a period from left to right.
However,there are exceptions due to stable electronic configurations:
$1$. $Mg$ $(3s^{2})$ has a fully filled $s$-orbital,making it more stable than $Al$ $(3s^{2} 3p^{1})$.
$2$. $P$ $(3s^{2} 3p^{3})$ has a half-filled $p$-orbital,making it more stable than $S$ $(3s^{2} 3p^{4})$.
Comparing the values:
$Al < Mg < S < P$
Substituting the labels:
$B < A < D < C$

EasyMCQ
Which of the following statements is incorrect?
A
The first ionization enthalpy of $K$ is less than that of $Na$ and $Li$.
B
$Xe$ does not have the lowest first ionization enthalpy in its group.
C
The first ionization enthalpy of the element with atomic number $37$ is lower than that of the element with atomic number $38$.
D
The first ionization enthalpy of $Ga$ is higher than that of the $d-$block element with atomic number $30$.

Solution

(D) $1$. Ionization enthalpy decreases down a group. Thus,for alkali metals: $Li > Na > K$. Statement $A$ is correct.
$2$. In noble gases,ionization enthalpy decreases down the group. $Xe$ is below $He, Ne, Ar, Kr$,so it has a lower ionization enthalpy than them. However,$Rn$ is below $Xe$,so $Rn$ has the lowest. Thus,$Xe$ is not the lowest. Statement $B$ is correct.
$3$. Atomic number $37$ is $Rb$ (Group $1$) and atomic number $38$ is $Sr$ (Group $2$). Across a period,ionization enthalpy increases. Thus,$Sr > Rb$. Statement $C$ is correct.
$4$. Atomic number $30$ is $Zn$ $([Ar] 3d^{10} 4s^2)$ and $Ga$ is $([Ar] 3d^{10} 4s^2 4p^1)$. Due to the stable $d^{10}$ configuration and higher effective nuclear charge,$Zn$ has a higher ionization enthalpy than $Ga$. Thus,the statement that $Ga$ is higher than $Zn$ is incorrect.
308
EasyMCQ
The first ionization enthalpy of $Na$,$Mg$ and $Si$,respectively,are: $496, 737$ and $786 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. The first ionization enthalpy $(kJ \ mol^{-1})$ of $Al$ is
A
$487$
B
$768$
C
$577$
D
$856$

Solution

(C) The general trend for the first ionization enthalpy across the third period is: $Na < Al < Mg < Si$.
Given values are:
$IE(Na) = 496 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$IE(Mg) = 737 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$IE(Si) = 786 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
Based on the periodic trend,the ionization enthalpy of $Al$ should be greater than $Na$ but less than $Mg$.
Therefore,$496 < IE(Al) < 737$.
Among the given options,only $577 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ falls within this range.
Thus,the correct option is $(C)$.

DifficultMCQ
The electronic configuration of an element with the largest difference between the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ ionisation energies is
A
$1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6}$
B
$1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6} 3s^{1}$
C
$1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6} 3s^{2}$
D
$1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{1}$

Solution

(A) The difference between the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ ionisation energies is largest when the removal of the second electron requires breaking a stable,fully-filled shell or subshell configuration.
Electronic configuration Element/Group
$1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6}$ Neon (Group $18$)
$1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6} 3s^{1}$ Sodium (Group $1$)
$1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6} 3s^{2}$ Magnesium (Group $2$)
$1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{1}$ Boron (Group $13$)

For $1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6}$ (Neon),the $1^{st}$ ionisation energy is very high due to its stable noble gas configuration. However,the $2^{nd}$ ionisation energy is significantly higher because it involves removing an electron from a stable $2p^{6}$ shell,which is extremely difficult. Thus,the jump between $IE_1$ and $IE_2$ is largest for this configuration.

MediumMCQ
The first ionisation potential $(IP)$ of the elements $Na$,$Mg$,$Si$,$P$,$Cl$ and $Ar$ are $5.14$,$7.65$,$8.15$,$10.49$,$12.97$ and $15.76 \ eV$,respectively. The $IP$ (in $eV$) of $K$ is closest to
A
$18.3$
B
$18.2$
C
$4.3$
D
$6.4$

Solution

(C) The ionisation potential $(IP)$ generally decreases as we move down a group in the periodic table due to the increase in atomic size and shielding effect.
$Na$ and $K$ both belong to Group $1$ (alkali metals).
Since $K$ is below $Na$ in the periodic table,the $IP$ of $K$ must be lower than the $IP$ of $Na$.
The $IP$ of $Na$ is $5.14 \ eV$.
Among the given options,only $4.3 \ eV$ is less than $5.14 \ eV$.
Therefore,the correct option is $C$.

MediumMCQ
The first ionisation energy of $Na$,$B$,$N$ and $O$ atoms follows the order
A
$B < Na < O < N$
B
$Na < B < O < N$
C
$Na < O < B < N$
D
$O < Na < N < B$

Solution

(B) $Na$ is an alkali metal and has the lowest ionisation energy due to its large atomic size.
$B$,$N$,and $O$ are non-metals belonging to the same period ($2^{nd}$ period).
Generally,ionisation energy increases from left to right across a period due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.
However,$N$ $(1s^2 2s^2 2p^3)$ has a stable half-filled $p$-orbital configuration,which makes its ionisation energy higher than that of $O$ $(1s^2 2s^2 2p^4)$.
Therefore,the correct order is $Na < B < O < N$.

MediumMCQ
The first ionisation enthalpies for three elements are $1314$,$1680$ and $2080 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$,respectively. The correct sequence of the elements is
A
$O, F$ and $Ne$
B
$F, O$ and $Ne$
C
$Ne, F$ and $O$
D
$F, Ne$ and $O$

Solution

(A) The elements $O$,$F$,and $Ne$ belong to the same period,i.e.,the $2nd$ period of the periodic table.
As we move from left to right across a period,the atomic radius decreases and the effective nuclear charge increases,which leads to an increase in the first ionisation enthalpy.
The order of increasing ionisation enthalpy for these elements is $O < F < Ne$.
Given values are $1314 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ for $O$,$1680 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ for $F$,and $2080 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ for $Ne$.
Therefore,the correct sequence is $O, F$ and $Ne$.

DifficultMCQ
Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The decrease in first ionization enthalpy from $B$ to $Al$ is much larger than that from $Al$ to $Ga$.
Statement $II$: The $d$ orbitals in $Ga$ are completely filled.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A
Statement $I$ is incorrect but statement $II$ is correct.
B
Both the statements $I$ and $II$ are correct.
C
Statement $I$ is correct but statement $II$ is incorrect.
D
Both the statements $I$ and $II$ are incorrect.

Solution

(B) The first ionization enthalpy values are as follows:
$B$: $801 \ kJ/mol$
$Al$: $577 \ kJ/mol$
$Ga$: $579 \ kJ/mol$
Statement $I$: The decrease from $B$ to $Al$ is $801 - 577 = 224 \ kJ/mol$,while the change from $Al$ to $Ga$ is $579 - 577 = 2 \ kJ/mol$ (an increase). Thus,the decrease from $B$ to $Al$ is indeed much larger than the change from $Al$ to $Ga$. Statement $I$ is correct.
Statement $II$: The electronic configuration of $Ga$ $(Z=31)$ is $[Ar] \ 3d^{10} \ 4s^2 \ 4p^1$. The $3d$ orbitals are completely filled. Statement $II$ is correct.

If first ionization enthalpies of element $X$ and $Y$ are $419 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $590 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,respectively and second ionization enthalpies of $X$ and $Y$ are $3069 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $1145 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,respectively. Then the correct statement is :-
A
$X$ is an alkali metal and $Y$ is an alkaline earth metal.
B
$X$ is an alkaline earth metal and $Y$ is an alkali metal.
C
Both $X$ and $Y$ are alkali metals.
D
Both $X$ and $Y$ are alkaline earth metals.

Solution

(A) For element $X$: The difference between the $2^{nd}$ and $1^{st}$ ionization enthalpy is $3069 - 419 = 2650 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,which is very large. This indicates that the removal of the second electron requires breaking a stable noble gas configuration,characteristic of an alkali metal.
For element $Y$: The difference between the $2^{nd}$ and $1^{st}$ ionization enthalpy is $1145 - 590 = 555 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,which is relatively small. This indicates that the second electron is removed from the same valence shell,characteristic of an alkaline earth metal.
Therefore,$X$ is an alkali metal and $Y$ is an alkaline earth metal.
315
MediumMCQ
The correct order of first ionization enthalpy for the given four elements is:
A
$C < N < F < O$
B
$C < N < O < F$
C
$C < O < N < F$
D
$C < F < N < O$

Solution

(C) The electronic configurations of the elements are as follows:
$C (Z=6): 1s^2 2s^2 2p^2$
$N (Z=7): 1s^2 2s^2 2p^3$
$O (Z=8): 1s^2 2s^2 2p^4$
$F (Z=9): 1s^2 2s^2 2p^5$
Across a period,ionization enthalpy generally increases due to increasing effective nuclear charge.
However,nitrogen $(N)$ has a stable half-filled $2p^3$ configuration,which makes its ionization enthalpy higher than that of oxygen $(O)$.
Therefore,the correct order is $C < O < N < F$.
316
MediumMCQ
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ The energy required to form $Mg^{2+}$ from $Mg$ is much higher than that required to produce $Mg^{+}$.
Reason $R:$ $Mg^{2+}$ is a small ion and carries more charge than $Mg^{+}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A
Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.
B
$A$ is true but $R$ is false.
C
$A$ is false but $R$ is true.
D
Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.

Solution

(D) The first ionization energy $(IE_1)$ is the energy required to remove the first electron from a neutral atom $(Mg \rightarrow Mg^+ + e^-)$.
The second ionization energy $(IE_2)$ is the energy required to remove the second electron from the unipositive ion $(Mg^+ \rightarrow Mg^{2+} + e^-)$.
Since $Mg^{2+}$ is a smaller ion with a higher positive charge compared to $Mg^+$,the electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the remaining electrons is much stronger,making it significantly harder to remove the second electron.
Therefore,$IE_2 > IE_1$,which means the energy required to form $Mg^{2+}$ from $Mg$ (total energy = $IE_1 + IE_2$) is higher than that required to produce $Mg^+$ $(IE_1)$.
Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
317
MediumMCQ
For elements $B$,$C$,$N$,$Li$,$Be$,$O$ and $F$,the correct order of first ionization enthalpy is:
A
$Li < Be < B < C < N < O < F$
B
$B > Li > Be > C > N > O > F$
C
$Li < B < Be < C < O < N < F$
D
$Li < Be < B < C < O < N < F$

Solution

(C) The first ionization enthalpy $(I.E._1)$ generally increases across a period from left to right due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.
However,there are exceptions due to stable electronic configurations (fully filled or half-filled orbitals).
For the given elements in the second period,the order is:
$Li (520 \ kJ/mol) < B (801 \ kJ/mol) < Be (899 \ kJ/mol) < C (1086 \ kJ/mol) < O (1314 \ kJ/mol) < N (1402 \ kJ/mol) < F (1681 \ kJ/mol)$.
$Be$ has a higher $I.E._1$ than $B$ due to its stable $2s^2$ configuration.
$N$ has a higher $I.E._1$ than $O$ due to its stable half-filled $2p^3$ configuration.
Therefore,the correct order is $Li < B < Be < C < O < N < F$.
318
DifficultMCQ
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$:
Assertion $A:$ The first ionisation enthalpy decreases across a period.
Reason $R:$ The increasing nuclear charge outweighs the shielding across the period.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate from the options given below:
A
Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
B
$A$ is true but $R$ is false.
C
$A$ is false but $R$ is true.
D
Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.

Solution

(C) The first ionisation enthalpy generally increases across a period from left to right because the atomic radius decreases and the effective nuclear charge increases.
Therefore,Assertion $A$ is false.
Reason $R$ states that the increasing nuclear charge outweighs the shielding effect across the period,which is a correct statement explaining why ionisation energy increases.
Thus,$A$ is false but $R$ is true.
319
DifficultMCQ
The element having the highest first ionization enthalpy is
A
$Si$
B
$Al$
C
$N$
D
$C$

Solution

(C) The first ionization enthalpy $(IE_1)$ generally increases across a period from left to right.
For the given elements ($Al$,$Si$,$C$,$N$),they belong to the $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ periods.
$Al$ and $Si$ are in the $3^{rd}$ period,while $C$ and $N$ are in the $2^{nd}$ period.
Elements in the $2^{nd}$ period have higher ionization enthalpies than those in the $3^{rd}$ period due to smaller atomic size.
Comparing $C$ and $N$ in the $2^{nd}$ period,$N$ has a higher $IE_1$ than $C$ because of its stable half-filled $p$-orbital configuration $(2s^2 2p^3)$.
Therefore,the order of $IE_1$ is $Al < Si < C < N$.
320
MediumMCQ
The correct order of first ionization enthalpy values of the following elements is:
$A. O$,$B. N$,$C. Be$,$D. F$,$E. B$
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A
$B < E < C < A < B < D$
B
$E < C < A < B < D$
C
$C < E < A < B < D$
D
$A < B < D < C < E$

Solution

(B) The first ionization enthalpy $(IE_1)$ generally increases across a period from left to right due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.
However,there are exceptions due to stable electronic configurations.
For the given elements in the second period,the order is:
$B (2s^2 2p^1) < Be (2s^2) < C (2s^2 2p^2) < O (2s^2 2p^4) < N (2s^2 2p^3) < F (2s^2 2p^5)$.
Note that $Be$ has a higher $IE_1$ than $B$ due to a fully filled $s$-orbital,and $N$ has a higher $IE_1$ than $O$ due to a half-filled $p$-orbital.
Mapping the elements to their labels: $A=O, B=N, C=Be, D=F, E=B$.
The order is $B < Be < O < N < F$,which corresponds to $E < C < A < B < D$.
321
MediumMCQ
The correct order of the first ionization enthalpy is
A
$Al > Ga > Tl$
B
$Ga > Al > B$
C
$B > Al > Ga$
D
$Tl > Ga > Al$

Solution

(D) $(i)$ The first ionization enthalpy $(IE_1)$ decreases down the group from $B$ to $Al$ due to an increase in atomic size.
$(ii)$ From $Al$ to $Ga$,the $IE_1$ increases due to the poor shielding effect of $d$-electrons (scandide contraction).
$(iii)$ From $Ga$ to $Tl$,the $IE_1$ increases due to the poor shielding effect of $f$-electrons (lanthanide contraction).
$(iv)$ Combining these trends,the correct order is $Tl > Ga > Al$.
322
MediumMCQ
Arrange the following elements in increasing order of first ionization enthalpy:
$Li, Be, B, C, N$
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A
$Li < B < Be < C < N$
B
$Li < Be < C < B < N$
C
$Li < Be < N < B < C$
D
$Li < Be < B < C < N$

Solution

(A) The first ionization enthalpy generally increases across a period from left to right due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.
However,there are exceptions due to electronic configuration stability:
$1$. $Be$ $(1s^2 2s^2)$ has a fully filled $2s$ orbital,making it more stable than $B$ $(1s^2 2s^2 2p^1)$,so $Be > B$.
$2$. $N$ $(1s^2 2s^2 2p^3)$ has a half-filled $2p$ subshell,which is more stable than $C$ $(1s^2 2s^2 2p^2)$,so $N > C$.
The correct increasing order is $Li < B < Be < C < N$.
Element First ionization enthalpy $(\Delta_i H / kJ \ mol^{-1})$

The $1^{\text{st}}$,$2^{\text{nd}}$,and $3^{\text{rd}}$ ionization enthalpies $I_1, I_2$,and $I_3$ of four atoms with atomic numbers $n, n+1, n+2$,and $n+3$,where $n < 10$,are tabulated below. What is the value of $n$?
Atomic number $I_1$ $(kJ/mol)$ $I_2$ $(kJ/mol)$ $I_3$ $(kJ/mol)$
$n$ $I_1$ $I_2$ $I_3$
$n+1$ $1681$ $3374$ $6050$
$n+2$ $2081$ $3952$ $6122$
$n+3$ $496$ $4562$ $6910$
$n+4$ $738$ $1451$ $7733$
A
$5$
B
$7$
C
$8$
D
$9$

Solution

(C) To determine the value of $n$,we analyze the jump in ionization enthalpies for each element:
$1$. For atomic number $(n+4)$,the jump occurs between $I_2$ and $I_3$ ($1451$ to $7733$),indicating it is an alkaline earth metal (Group $2$).
$2$. For atomic number $(n+3)$,the jump occurs between $I_1$ and $I_2$ ($496$ to $4562$),indicating it is an alkali metal (Group $1$).
$3$. Since $(n+3)$ is an alkali metal and $(n+4)$ is an alkaline earth metal,$(n+3)$ corresponds to $Z=11$ (Sodium) and $(n+4)$ corresponds to $Z=12$ (Magnesium).
$4$. If $n+3 = 11$,then $n = 8$.
$5$. Checking the sequence: $n=8$ (Oxygen),$n+1=9$ (Fluorine),$n+2=10$ (Neon),$n+3=11$ (Sodium). The ionization energies provided for $n+1$ $(1681)$ and $n+2$ $(2081)$ are consistent with Fluorine and Neon respectively. Thus,$n=8$.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The first ionization energy of $Pb$ is greater than that of $Sn$.
Statement $II$: The first ionization energy of $Ge$ is greater than that of $Si$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A
Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
B
Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
C
Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
D
Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true

Solution

(A) The first ionization energy $(IE_1)$ trend for group $14$ elements is $C > Si > Ge > Sn < Pb$.
Statement $I$: The $IE_1$ of $Pb$ $(715 \ kJ/mol)$ is greater than that of $Sn$ $(708 \ kJ/mol)$ due to the poor shielding effect of $4f$ and $5d$ electrons (lanthanoid contraction),which increases the effective nuclear charge. Thus,Statement $I$ is true.
Statement $II$: The $IE_1$ of $Ge$ $(761 \ kJ/mol)$ is less than that of $Si$ $(786 \ kJ/mol)$ because $Si$ is smaller than $Ge$. Thus,Statement $II$ is false.
Therefore,Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false.

The successive $5$ ionisation energies of an element are $800, 2427, 3658, 25024$ and $32824 \ kJ/mol$,respectively. By using the above values,predict the group in which the above element is present:
A
Group $2$
B
Group $13$
C
Group $4$
D
Group $14$

Solution

(B) The successive ionization energies are $IE_1 = 800 \ kJ/mol$,$IE_2 = 2427 \ kJ/mol$,$IE_3 = 3658 \ kJ/mol$,$IE_4 = 25024 \ kJ/mol$,and $IE_5 = 32824 \ kJ/mol$.
There is a large jump in energy between the $3^{rd}$ and $4^{th}$ ionization energy $(IE_4 - IE_3 = 25024 - 3658 = 21366 \ kJ/mol)$.
This indicates that the $4^{th}$ electron is being removed from a stable noble gas core.
Therefore,the element has $3$ valence electrons,which places it in Group $13$.
326
MediumMCQ
Given below are two statements $:$
Statement $(I) :$ The first ionisation enthalpy of group $14$ elements is higher than the corresponding elements of group $13.$
Statement $(II) :$ Melting points and boiling points of group $13$ elements are in general much higher than those of the corresponding elements of group $14.$ In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below $:$
A
Statement $I$ is correct but Statement $II$ is incorrect
B
Statement $I$ is incorrect but Statement $II$ is correct
C
Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are incorrect
D
Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are correct

Solution

(A) Statement $(I)$ is correct because,in the periodic table,the first ionisation enthalpy generally increases from left to right across a period due to the increase in effective nuclear charge and decrease in atomic size. Thus,group $14$ elements have higher first ionisation enthalpy than group $13$ elements.
Statement $(II)$ is incorrect because group $14$ elements (like carbon and silicon) form strong covalent bonds in their elemental state,leading to much higher melting and boiling points compared to the corresponding group $13$ elements.
327
MediumMCQ
The elements of Group $13$ with highest and lowest first ionisation enthalpies are respectively$:$
A
$B$ $\&$ $Ga$
B
$B$ $\&$ $Tl$
C
$Tl$ $\&$ $B$
D
$B$ $\&$ $In$

Solution

(D) The first ionisation enthalpy $(IE_1)$ of Group $13$ elements does not decrease regularly down the group due to the poor shielding effect of $d$ and $f$ orbitals.
The observed order of $IE_1$ for Group $13$ elements is: $B > Tl > Ga > Al > In$.
Therefore,Boron $(B)$ has the highest $IE_1$ and Indium $(In)$ has the lowest $IE_1$.
328
MediumMCQ
The atomic number of the element from the following with the lowest $1^{st}$ ionisation enthalpy is:
A
$32$
B
$35$
C
$87$
D
$19$

Solution

(C) The given atomic numbers correspond to the following elements:
$32 \Rightarrow Ge$ (Germanium)
$35 \Rightarrow Br$ (Bromine)
$87 \Rightarrow Fr$ (Francium)
$19 \Rightarrow K$ (Potassium)
Ionisation enthalpy generally decreases down a group and increases across a period.
$Fr$ is an alkali metal located in the $7^{th}$ period and $1^{st}$ group.
Due to its large atomic size and the shielding effect of inner shells,$Fr$ has the lowest $1^{st}$ ionisation enthalpy among the given elements.
Therefore,the correct answer is $87$.
329
MediumMCQ
Find the formula of the halide of a metal whose successive ionization energies are $10, 16, 25, 400, 500 \ eV \ mol^{-1}$ respectively $:-$
A
$MX$
B
$MX_2$
C
$MX_3$
D
$MX_4$

Solution

(C) The successive ionization energies are $10, 16, 25, 400, 500 \ eV \ mol^{-1}$.
There is a very large jump in ionization energy between the $3^{rd}$ $(25 \ eV \ mol^{-1})$ and $4^{th}$ $(400 \ eV \ mol^{-1})$ ionization energies.
This indicates that the $4^{th}$ electron is being removed from a stable noble gas core.
Therefore,the metal $M$ has $3$ valence electrons and exhibits a stable oxidation state of $+3$.
The formula of its halide (where $X$ is a halogen with $-1$ charge) is $MX_3$.

MediumMCQ
Which of the following electronic configurations will have the least $I.P.$ value?
A
$1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6$
B
$1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^5$
C
$1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2$
D
$1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^1$

Solution

(D) The $I.P.$ (Ionization Potential) depends on the stability of the electronic configuration and the shielding effect.
Comparing the given configurations:
$A$: $3p^6$ (Noble gas,very stable,high $I.P.$)
$B$: $3p^5$ (High $I.P.$ due to high effective nuclear charge)
$C$: $3s^2$ (Fully filled $s$-orbital,stable,high $I.P.$)
$D$: $3s^2 3p^1$ (The electron is being removed from the $3p$ orbital,which is shielded by the $3s^2$ electrons and is further from the nucleus compared to the $3s$ orbital).
Therefore,the configuration $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^1$ has the least $I.P.$ value.
331
MediumMCQ
The ionization potential $(IP)$ values for an element are given below. Identify the element:
$(IP)_1$$7.1 \ eV$
$(IP)_2$$10.3 \ eV$
$(IP)_3$$36.2 \ eV$
$(IP)_4$$39.1 \ eV$
A
$Mg$
B
$Si$
C
$Na$
D
$P$

Solution

(A) To identify the element,we look for a large jump in the successive ionization potential values,which indicates the removal of an electron from a stable noble gas core.
$1$. The given values are: $(IP)_1 = 7.1 \ eV$,$(IP)_2 = 10.3 \ eV$,$(IP)_3 = 36.2 \ eV$,and $(IP)_4 = 39.1 \ eV$.
$2$. The jump from $(IP)_2$ to $(IP)_3$ is very large $(36.2 - 10.3 = 25.9 \ eV)$,suggesting that the element has $2$ valence electrons.
$3$. An element with $2$ valence electrons belongs to Group $2$ (alkaline earth metals).
$4$. Among the given options,$Mg$ (Magnesium) is in Group $2$ with the electronic configuration $[Ne] 3s^2$. Therefore,it has $2$ valence electrons.
332
MediumMCQ
The ionisation energy of nitrogen is more than oxygen because of $:-$
A
The size of nitrogen atom is smaller
B
More penetrating effect
C
More attraction of electrons by the nucleus
D
The stability of half-filled $p$-subshell

Solution

(D) The electronic configuration of Nitrogen $(N)$ is $1s^2 2s^2 2p^3$.
The electronic configuration of Oxygen $(O)$ is $1s^2 2s^2 2p^4$.
Nitrogen has a half-filled $p$-subshell $(2p^3)$,which provides extra stability to the atom.
Due to this extra stability,more energy is required to remove an electron from Nitrogen compared to Oxygen,which has a partially filled $p$-subshell $(2p^4)$.
333
DifficultMCQ
Which is the correct order of ionisation energy?
A
$O^{-} > O > S^{-} > S$
B
$O > S > S^{-} > O^{-}$
C
$O > S > O^{-} > S^{-}$
D
$O^{-} > S^{-} > O > S$

Solution

(C) The ionisation energy $(IE)$ is inversely proportional to the size of the atom or ion $(IE \propto \frac{1}{\text{size}})$.
For neutral atoms,$O$ has a smaller size than $S$,so $IE(O) > IE(S)$.
For anions,$O^{-}$ has a smaller size than $S^{-}$,so $IE(O^{-}) > IE(S^{-})$.
Comparing neutral atoms and anions,neutral atoms have a much higher $IE$ than their corresponding anions because removing an electron from a negatively charged species is easier than from a neutral one.
Thus,the correct order is $O > S > O^{-} > S^{-}$.
334
EasyMCQ
Which of the following transitions involves the maximum amount of energy?
A
$M_{(g)}^{-} \longrightarrow M_{(g)}$
B
$M_{(g)} \longrightarrow M_{(g)}^{+}$
C
$M_{(g)}^{+} \longrightarrow M_{(g)}^{2+}$
D
$M_{(g)}^{2+} \longrightarrow M_{(g)}^{3+}$

Solution

(D) The transition $M_{(g)}^{2+} \longrightarrow M_{(g)}^{3+}$ involves the maximum amount of energy.
As the positive charge on the ion increases,the effective nuclear charge per electron increases.
This results in a stronger electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the remaining electrons.
Therefore,the energy required to remove the $3^{rd}$ electron (third ionization energy) is significantly higher than the energy required for the removal of the first or second electron.
335
MediumMCQ
Identify the element having the highest ionization enthalpy.
A
$Li$
B
$K$
C
$Rb$
D
$Cs$

Solution

(A) The ionization enthalpy $(I.E.)$ is the energy required to remove an electron from an isolated gaseous atom.
In the periodic table,as we move down a group,the atomic size increases and the valence electrons are further from the nucleus,which leads to a decrease in $I.E.$
All the given elements $(Li, K, Rb, Cs)$ belong to Group $1$ (Alkali metals).
Since $Li$ is at the top of the group,it has the smallest atomic size and therefore the highest $I.E.$ among the given options.
336
EasyMCQ
Identify the element having lowest first ionization enthalpy.
A
$Po$
B
$Te$
C
$Br$
D
$Kr$

Solution

(A) The ionization enthalpy $(I.E.)$ decreases down the group due to an increase in atomic size.
Therefore,the $I.E.$ of $Te$ is higher than that of $Po$.
Across a period,$I.E.$ increases with an increase in atomic number.
Comparing the given elements,$Po$ (Polonium) is in Group $16$ and Period $6$,$Te$ (Tellurium) is in Group $16$ and Period $5$,$Br$ (Bromine) is in Group $17$ and Period $4$,and $Kr$ (Krypton) is in Group $18$ and Period $4$.
Since $I.E.$ increases from left to right across a period and decreases down a group,$Po$ has the lowest $I.E.$ among the given elements.
337
MediumMCQ
Which of the following elements has the highest value of first ionization enthalpy $(\Delta_i H_1)$?
A
$He$
B
$Ar$
C
$Cl$
D
$I$

Solution

(A) The ionization enthalpy $(IE)$ is highest for noble gases due to their stable electronic configuration. Therefore,the $IE$ of $Ar$ and $He$ is higher than that of the halogens $Cl$ and $I$.
Down a group,$IE$ decreases due to an increase in atomic size.
Comparing $He$ and $Ar$,$He$ has a smaller atomic size,so $IE$ of $He > Ar$.
Across a period,$IE$ increases with an increase in atomic number.
Comparing $Cl$ and $Ar$,$Ar$ has a higher $IE$ than $Cl$.
Thus,the overall order of ionization enthalpy is $I < Cl < Ar < He$.
Therefore,$He$ has the highest ionization enthalpy.
338
EasyMCQ
Which of the following is the $CORRECT$ decreasing order of ionisation enthalpy for the given elements?
A
$Ar > Ne > S > Cl$
B
$Ne > Ar > Cl > S$
C
$Ne > S > Cl > Ar$
D
$Cl > S > Ne > Ar$

Solution

(B) The ionisation enthalpy decreases down a group due to an increase in atomic size.
Therefore,the ionisation enthalpy of $Ne$ is greater than that of $Ar$.
Across a period,ionisation enthalpy generally increases with an increase in atomic number.
Comparing the elements in the same period ($3^{rd}$ period),the order is $S < Cl < Ar$.
Combining these trends,the correct decreasing order of ionisation enthalpy is:
$Ne > Ar > Cl > S$.
339
EasyMCQ
The correct order of first ionisation enthalpy of the given elements is:
A
$Li < B < Be < C$
B
$Be < Li < B < C$
C
$C < B < Be < Li$
D
$Li < Be < B < C$

Solution

(A) The first ionisation enthalpy generally increases as we move from left to right across a period due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.
However,$Be$ $(1s^2 2s^2)$ has a fully-filled $2s$ subshell,which is more stable than the $2p^1$ configuration of $B$ $(1s^2 2s^2 2p^1)$.
Therefore,$Be$ has a higher first ionisation enthalpy than $B$.
The correct order is $Li < B < Be < C$.
340
EasyMCQ
The third ionisation enthalpy is highest in
A
alkali metals
B
alkaline earth metals
C
chalcogens
D
pnictogens

Solution

(B) The third ionisation enthalpy is highest in $alkaline \ earth \ metals$ because they achieve a stable noble gas configuration after the removal of two electrons.
Further removal of an electron from the completely filled orbital requires a very high ionisation enthalpy.
341
EasyMCQ
The first ionization enthalpy of the following elements are in the order:
A
$Si < P < C < N$
B
$Si < C < P < N$
C
$C < N < Si < P$
D
$P < Si < N < C$

Solution

(A) The first ionization enthalpy $(\Delta H_{IE})$ generally increases across a period from left to right and decreases down a group.
Comparing the elements $C$ (Group $14$,Period $2$),$N$ (Group $15$,Period $2$),$Si$ (Group $14$,Period $3$),and $P$ (Group $15$,Period $3$):
$1$. Elements in Period $2$ $(C, N)$ have higher ionization enthalpy than those in Period $3$ $(Si, P)$ due to smaller atomic size.
$2$. Within the same period,Group $15$ elements have higher ionization enthalpy than Group $14$ elements due to the stable half-filled $p$-orbital configuration $(ns^2 np^3)$.
$3$. Combining these trends,the order is $Si < P < C < N$.
342
MediumMCQ
For one of the elements,various successive ionization enthalpies (in $kJ \cdot mol^{-1}$) are given below:
$I.E.$ $1^{st}$ $2^{nd}$ $3^{rd}$ $4^{th}$ $5^{th}$
Value $577.5$ $1810$ $2750$ $11580$ $14820$

The element is:
A
$Si$
B
$P$
C
$Al$
D
$Mg$

Solution

(C) The jump between $IE_3$ and $IE_4$ is very large ($2750$ to $11580 \ kJ \cdot mol^{-1}$),indicating that the fourth electron is removed from a stable inner shell (noble gas configuration).
This means the element has $3$ valence electrons.
Among the given options,Aluminum $(Al)$ has $3$ valence electrons $([Ne] 3s^2 3p^1)$.
343
EasyMCQ
The correct order of ionisation energy of $C$,$N$,$O$,and $F$ is
A
$C < N < O < F$
B
$C < O < N < F$
C
$F < O < N < C$
D
$F < N < C < O$

Solution

(B) On moving from left to right in a period,ionisation energy generally increases due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.
Thus,the expected order of ionisation energy for $C$,$N$,$O$,and $F$ is $C < N < O < F$.
However,the ionisation energy of $N$ $(1s^2 2s^2 2p^3)$ is greater than that of $O$ $(1s^2 2s^2 2p^4)$.
This is because $N$ has a stable half-filled $p$-orbital configuration,which requires more energy to remove an electron.
Therefore,the correct order is $C < O < N < F$.
344
EasyMCQ
Elements $X, Y$ and $Z$ have atomic numbers $19, 37$ and $55$ respectively. Which of the following statements is true about them?
A
$Y$ would have an ionisation potential between those of $X$ and $Z$.
B
$Z$ would have the highest ionisation potential.
C
$Y$ would have the highest ionisation potential.
D
Their ionisation potential would increase with increasing atomic number.

Solution

(A) Elements $X, Y$ and $Z$ with atomic numbers $19, 37$ and $55$ are $K, Rb$ and $Cs$ respectively.
These elements belong to group-$I$ of the periodic table.
On moving down the group,the atomic size increases,which leads to a decrease in the ionisation potential.
Therefore,the order of ionisation potential is $X > Y > Z$.
Thus,$Y$ has an ionisation potential between those of $X$ and $Z$.
345
EasyMCQ
Generally,the first ionisation energy increases along a period. But there are some exceptions. The one which is not an exception is
A
$Be$ and $B$
B
$Na$ and $Mg$
C
$Mg$ and $Al$
D
$N$ and $O$

Solution

(B) The first ionisation energy generally increases across a period due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.
Exceptions occur when a more stable electronic configuration (like fully filled or half-filled orbitals) is present in the preceding element.
$Be$ $(2s^2)$ has a higher ionisation energy than $B$ $(2s^2 2p^1)$.
$Mg$ $(3s^2)$ has a higher ionisation energy than $Al$ $(3s^2 3p^1)$.
$N$ $(2s^2 2p^3)$ has a higher ionisation energy than $O$ $(2s^2 2p^4)$.
$Na$ $(3s^1)$ has a lower ionisation energy than $Mg$ $(3s^2)$,which follows the general trend.
Therefore,$Na$ and $Mg$ is not an exception.
346
MediumMCQ
Generally,the first ionization energy increases along a period. But there are some exceptions. One which is not an exception is
A
$N$ and $O$
B
$Na$ and $Mg$
C
$Mg$ and $Al$
D
$Be$ and $B$

Solution

(B) The first ionization energy generally increases across a period from left to right due to an increase in effective nuclear charge.
Exceptions occur when a more stable electronic configuration (like fully filled or half-filled orbitals) is present in an element to the left of another.
For $N$ $(2s^2 2p^3)$ and $O$ $(2s^2 2p^4)$,$N$ has a higher $IE$ than $O$ due to its stable half-filled $p$-orbital.
For $Be$ $(2s^2)$ and $B$ $(2s^2 2p^1)$,$Be$ has a higher $IE$ than $B$ due to its stable fully filled $s$-orbital.
For $Mg$ $(3s^2)$ and $Al$ $(3s^2 3p^1)$,$Mg$ has a higher $IE$ than $Al$ due to its stable fully filled $s$-orbital.
For $Na$ $(3s^1)$ and $Mg$ $(3s^2)$,the trend follows the general rule where $IE$ of $Mg > IE$ of $Na$,so this is not an exception.
347
MediumMCQ
The correct order in which the first ionisation potential increases is
A
$Na, K, Be$
B
$K, Na, Be$
C
$K, Be, Na$
D
$Be, Na, K$

Solution

(B) The first ionisation potential generally increases in a period from left to right and decreases in a group from top to bottom.
Comparing the elements: $K$ (Group $1$,Period $4$),$Na$ (Group $1$,Period $3$),and $Be$ (Group $2$,Period $2$).
Since $K$ and $Na$ are in the same group,$IE_1$ of $K < Na$.
$Be$ is in Period $2$ and Group $2$,which has a higher $IE_1$ than elements in Group $1$ of the same or lower periods.
Thus,the correct order of first ionisation potential is $K < Na < Be$.

Electronic configurations of four elements $A$,$B$,$C$,$D$ are given below:
$A$) $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1$
$B$) $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^1$
$C$) $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2$
$D$) $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^2$
The correct order of first ionization enthalpy of these elements is:
A
$D > B > C > A$
B
$C > D > B > A$
C
$C > A > B > D$
D
$D > C > B > A$

Solution

(D) The electronic configurations are:
$A$: $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1$ (Sodium,$Na$)
$B$: $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^1$ (Aluminium,$Al$)
$C$: $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2$ (Magnesium,$Mg$)
$D$: $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^2$ (Silicon,$Si$)
Ionization enthalpy generally increases across a period from left to right.
The elements belong to the $3^{rd}$ period in the order $Na < Mg < Al < Si$.
However,$Mg$ $(3s^2)$ has a fully filled orbital,making it more stable than $Al$ $(3s^2 3p^1)$. Thus,$IE_1$ of $Mg > Al$.
The order is $Na < Al < Mg < Si$,which corresponds to $A < B < C < D$.
Therefore,the correct order of first ionization enthalpy is $D > C > B > A$.
349
MediumMCQ
If the first ionisation enthalpy of $Li$,$Be$,and $C$ respectively are $520$,$899$,and $1086 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,the first ionisation enthalpy (in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$) of $B$ will be:
A
$487$
B
$950$
C
$801$
D
$1402$

Solution

(C) The first ionisation enthalpy values for $Li$,$Be$,and $C$ are $520$,$899$,and $1086 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ respectively.
Ionisation enthalpy generally increases from left to right across a period due to an increase in effective nuclear charge and a decrease in atomic size.
The electronic configurations are:
$Li: [He] \ 2s^1$
$Be: [He] \ 2s^2$
$B: [He] \ 2s^2 \ 2p^1$
$C: [He] \ 2s^2 \ 2p^2$
Due to the stable fully-filled $2s$ orbital in $Be$,its ionisation enthalpy is higher than that of $B$,which has a single electron in the $2p$ orbital.
Therefore,the trend in ionisation enthalpy for these elements is $C > Be > B > Li$.
Substituting the given values: $1086 > 899 > B > 520$.
The value for $B$ must be between $520$ and $899 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
Among the given options,$801 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ is the only value that fits this range.
Thus,the correct option is $(C)$.
