(b) The greatest increase in ionization enthalpy is experienced on removal of electron from core noble gas configuration.

(c) End of valence electrons is marked by a big jump in ionization enthalpy.

(d) Removal of electron from orbitals bearing lower n value is easier than from orbital having higher n value.

Answer - (d)

Because electrons in orbitals bearing a lower n value are more attracted to the nucleus than electrons in orbitals bearing a higher n value.

Hence the removal of electrons from orbitals bearing a higher n value is easier than the removal of electrons from orbitals having a lower n value.
