Amongst the elements with following electronic configurations, which one of them may have the highest ionisation energy ?
- ANe [3s2 3p2]
- BAr [3d10 4s2 4p3]
- CNe [3s2 3p1]
- DNe [3s2 3p3]
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
Among the given options (a), (c) and (d), the option (d) has the highest ionisation energy because of extra stability associated with half-filled 3p-orbital. In option (b), the presence of 3d10 electrons offers shielding effect, as a result the 4p3 electrons do not experience much nuclear charge and hence the electrons can be removed easily.
