6 Among the second period elements the a
order Li < B < Be <C<O<N<F < Ne.
Explain why
(i) Be has higher A, H than B
(ii) O has lower A, H than N and F?
Answers
Answer:
due to lathanoid contraction and higher EN

Among the second period elements the actual ionization enthalpies are in the order
Li < B< Be < C< O < N < F < Ne.
Explain why
( a ) Be has higher ∆iH than B
( b ) O has lower ∆iH than N and F?
a )
Be has elctrnic configuration 1s² 2s² whereas
B has electronic configuration 1s² 2s² 2p¹..as we can see that Be has its last orbital cmpltly filled therefore it is more stable than B...
Hence, more energy will be required to remove n electron from Be than from B and it will have high ionisation enthlpy.
b )
EC of O is 1s² 2s² 2p⁴
EC of N is 1s² 2s² 2p³
EC of F is 1s² 2s²
if you remembered
lonisation enthalpy increases when we move left to right due to decreases atomic size.
but here you see N has higher lonisation enthalpy than O.it is because of more stable f half filled or full filled orbitals shows more stablity } electronic configuration of N.so, it is difficult to remove an electron from N than O.
That's why Oxygen has lower lonisation enthalpy than Nitrogen and fluorine.
