The elements of Group 13 with highest and lowest first ionisation enthalpies are respectively :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Group 13 elements are:
-
We need the elements with highest and lowest first ionisation enthalpy.
-
General trend down a group: ionisation enthalpy usually decreases because:
- atomic size increases,
- shielding increases,
- valence electron is easier to remove.
So one may expect:
-
But Group 13 shows irregularity due to poor shielding by d and f electrons.
Approximate first ionisation enthalpies are:
-
From these values:
- Highest first ionisation enthalpy =
- Lowest first ionisation enthalpy =
-
Therefore, the correct pair is:
-
Option checking:
- A: → incorrect, since is not the lowest.
- B: → incorrect order and values.
- C: → correct.
- D: → incorrect, is not the lowest.
Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
