Four successive members of the first row transition elements are listed below with their atomic numbers. Which one of them is expected to have the highest third ionisation enthalpy?
- AVanadium (Z = 23)
- BChromium (Z = 24)
- CManganese (Z = 25)
- DIron (Z = 26)

Correct answer: C
For third ionization enthalpy electronic
configuration of
V2+ (21) : [Ar]18 3d34s0
Cr2+ (22) : [Ar]18 3d44s0
Mn2+ (23) : [Ar]18 3d54s0
Fe2+ (24) : [Ar]18 3d54s1
Mn has most stable configuration due to half
filled d-orbital. Hence 3rd ionization energy will
be highest for Mn.
