The atomic number of the element from the following with lowest 1st ionisation enthalpy is :
- A32
- B35
- C19
- D87
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Identify the elements from their atomic numbers
- Recall the trend of first ionisation enthalpy
First ionisation enthalpy generally:
- increases across a period from left to right,
- decreases down a group from top to bottom.
So, elements lying more toward the bottom-left of the periodic table have the lowest first ionisation enthalpy.
- Compare the given elements
- Ge and Br are in higher periods and more to the right, so their ionisation enthalpies are relatively high.
- K is an alkali metal, so it has low ionisation enthalpy.
- Fr is also an alkali metal and lies below K in the same general trend, so its first ionisation enthalpy is even lower.
Thus,
- Select the correct option
The element with atomic number has the lowest first ionisation enthalpy.
Therefore, the correct answer is: which corresponds to Option D.
