MCQ
Amongst the following elements, whose electronic configurations are given below, the one having the highest ionization enthalpy is :
  • A
    $\ce{[Ne]3s^23p^1}$
  • B
    $\ce{[Ne]3s^23p^3}$
  • C
    $\ce{[Ne]3s^23p^2}$
  • $\ce{[Ar]3d^{10}4s^24p^3}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\ce{[Ar]3d^{10}4s^24p^3}$
Have exactly half filled $p-$ orbitals but $(b)$ is smaller in size than Hence, $(b)$ has highest ionization enthalpy.
