Question
Correct orders of \(I^{st}\) I.P. are -
(i) Li < B < Be < C       
(ii) O < N < F
(iii) Be < N < Ne
Options:
A .  (i), (ii)
B .  (ii), (iii)
C .  (i), (iii)
D .  (i), (ii), (iii)
Answer: Option D
:
D
Down the group ionization potential (ionization enthalpy) decreases with increase in size.
Across a period, ionization potential decreases and then increases at the noble gasses.

Elements of group 2(IIA) have I.E more than that of group 13(IIA) as they have completely filled 's' orbital. Be > B
Elements of group 15(VA) have more than that of group 16(VIA) as they have half filled 'P' subshell. N > O
Inert gas elements have the highest I.P in a given period due to a stable electronic configuration.
