In which of the following arrangements the order is NOT according to the property indicated against it?
- increasing ionic size
- increasing first ionisation enthalpy
increasing electron gain enthalpy (with negative sign)
- increasing metallic radius
As we learnt in
Factors affecting I.E -
Removal of an electron from half filled and full filled atom require more energy than expected.
When we look into option 2, we find a discrepancy there that O is shown to have a greater I.E than N. Usually, I.E increases along a period but as N has half filled orbitals, removal of electrons requires more energy.
Option 1)
- increasing ionic size
This option is incorrect.
Option 2)
- increasing first ionisation enthalpy
This option is correct.
Option 3)
increasing electron gain enthalpy (with negative sign)
This option is incorrect.
Option 4)
- increasing metallic radius
This option is incorrect.
