    Amongst the elements with following electronic configurations, which one of them may have the highest ionisation energy?     [AIPMT (S) 2009]

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

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

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

    D)       \[[Ne]\,3{{s}^{2}}3\,{{p}^{1}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea lonisation energy usually increases from left to right in a period with decrease in atomic size and decreases from upto down in a group with increase in atomic size.
    Electronic configuration                Group
    \[[Ne]\,3{{s}^{2}}3\,{{p}^{3}}\]                                 V
    \[[Ne]\,3{{s}^{2}}3\,{{p}^{2}}\]                                 IV
    \[[Ar]\,3{{d}^{10}},\,4{{s}^{2}}4\,{{p}^{3}}\]                      V
    \[[Ne]\,3{{s}^{2}}3\,{{p}^{1}}\]                                 III
    Since IE increases in a period and decreases in
    a group, \[[Ne]\,3{{s}^{2}}3\,{{p}^{3}}\]configuration has the highest ionisation energy among the given.
