    lonisation energy is highest in

    A)  \[[Ne]\,\,3{{s}^{1}}\]

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

    C)  \[[Ne]\,\,3{{s}^{10}},4{{s}^{2}},4{{p}^{3}}\]

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Key Idea In a period, from left to right ionisation energy of element generally increases and in a group from top to bottom ionization energy of element decreases. The ionisation energy of V A group is greater than VI A group due to extra stabilility of half-filled p-subshell. [Ne] \[3{{s}^{1}}\] is present in IA group and third period. [Ne] \[3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{3}}\] is present in V A group and third period. [Ne] \[3{{d}^{10}},4{{s}^{2}}4{{p}^{3}}\] is present in V A group and fourth period. [Ne] \[3{{s}^{2}},3{{p}^{4}}\] is present in VI A group and third period. We know that IE of V A group is greater than VI A group. So, the IE of [Ne] \[3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{3}}\] is greater than [Ne] \[3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{4}}\] Further, [Ne] \[3{{d}^{10}}4{{s}^{2}}4{{p}^{3}}\] is also placed in V A group but it is placed below the [Ne] \[3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{3}}\]. As the IE in a group from top to bottom decreases therefore, the ionisation energy of [Ne] \[3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{3}}\] is greatest in given elements due to extra stability of half-filled p-sub-shell.
