    With which of the following electronic configuration an atom has the lowest ionisation enthalpy?            [AIPMT (S) 2007]

    A)  \[1{{s}^{2}}\,2{{s}^{2}}\,2{{p}^{5}}\]

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

    C)  \[1{{s}^{2}}\,2{{s}^{2}}\,2{{p}^{5}}\,3{{s}^{1}}\]

    D)       \[1{{s}^{2}}\,2{{s}^{2}}\,2{{p}^{6}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The electronic configuration \[1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{5}}3{{s}^{1}}\] shows lowest ionisation energy because this configuration is unstable due to the presence of one electron in s-orbital. Hence, less energy is required to remove the electron.
