    Among lithium, nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, which element has the highest first ionisation potential?

    A) Lithium                

    B) Nitrogen

    C) Carbon                

    D) Oxygen

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    As N has half-filled 2p orbital, which is more stable configuration than oxygen which has \[2{{p}^{4}}\]and carbon has \[2{{p}^{2}}\] configuration. As half-filled are more stable, so it required higher energy to remove the outer most electron.
