    Identify the least stable ion amongst the following.

    A)  \[L{{i}^{-}}\]                                     

    B)  \[B{{e}^{-}}\]

    C)  \[~{{B}^{-}}\]                                    

    D)  \[{{C}^{-}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     \[L{{i}^{-}}=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}\] (In it all sub-shells are saturated so, it is stable) \[B{{e}^{-}}=1{{s}^{2}}.2{{s}^{2}},2{{p}^{2}}\] (very much less stable) \[{{B}^{-}}=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}},2{{p}^{2}}\] (less stable) \[{{C}^{-}}=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}},2{{p}^{3}}\] (stable due to presence of half-filled 2p-subshell.
