    Which of the atoms having the following electronic configuration will have the highest first ionization energy?

    A)  \[[Ne],\text{ }2{{s}^{2}},\text{ }3{{p}^{2}}\]     

    B)  \[[Ne],\text{ }3{{s}^{2}},\text{ }3{{p}^{3}}\]

    C)  \[[Ne],\text{ 3}{{s}^{2}},\text{ 2}{{p}^{4}}\]    

    D)  \[[He],\text{ }2{{s}^{2}},\text{ }2{{p}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    : Nitrogen\[([He]\text{ }2{{s}^{2}}\text{ }2{{p}^{3}})\]has a stable electronic configuration due to extra-stability of the half filled orbitals. Hence, more energy is required to remove an electron from nitrogen. Also, ionization energy decreases as we move down the group,
