    Which is the correct increasing order of ionization energies?

    A)  \[N<O<F\]        

    B)         \[F<O<N\]        

    C)         \[N<F<O\]        

    D)         \[O<N<F\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The ionisation energy, in a period increases from left to right, hence, the increasing order should be N < O < F. But the actual order is O < N < F. The ionisation energy of nitrogen is greater than that of oxygen due to stabler electronic configuration of N (\[2{{p}^{3}},\]half-filled p-orbital).
