Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:
Assertion A: The first ionization enthalpy decreases across a period.
Reason R: The increasing nuclear charge outweighs the shielding across the period.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below: [2024]
A is false but R is true
A is true but R is false
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(1)
From left to right across a period, number of protons as well as number of electrons increase. Increase in number of protons results in stronger attraction of outermost electron which contributes towards increase of ionization energy. Increase in number of electrons increases inter-electronic repulsion, which contributes towards decrease of ionization energy. Effect of increase in number of protons outweighs the effect of increase in number of electrons. Thus ionization energy increases from left to right across a period. (If nothing is mentioned then trend is taken as left to right across a period).
The element having the highest first ionization enthalpy is [2024]

The correct order of first ionization enthalpy values of the following elements is:
(A) O
(B) N
(C) Be
(D) F
(E) B
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
E < C < A < B < D
B < D < C < E < A
C < E < A < B < D
A < B < D < C < E
(1)
Ionization enthalpy increases from left to right across a period. Thus in second period element expected order of ionization enthalpy is:
But removal of electron from stable fully filled subshell of Be and half flled subshell of N is difficult. Thus Be and N have ionization energy more than expected value. Hence actual order of ionization energy is:
(E) (C) (A) (B) (D)
The correct order of the first ionization enthalpy is [2024]

Ionization enthalpy decreases down the group. In group 13, and have more ionization enthalpy than expected value because of poor shielding of and electrons respectively. Actual order of first ionization enthalpy for group 13 elements is:
The successive 5 ionisation energies of an element are 800, 2427, 3658, 25024 and 32824 kJ/mol, respectively. By using the above values predict the group in which the above element is present: [2025]
Group 14
Group 13
Group 4
Group 2

There is huge jump on moving from to . This means removing fourth electron is very difficult. In other words, removing three electrons are relatively easy. i.e. the element has 3 valence electrons. So it is a group 13 element.
An element ‘E’ has the ionisation enthalpy value of 374 kJ . ‘E’ reacts with elements A, B, C and D with electron gain enthalpy values of –328, –349, –325 and –295 kJ , respectively.
The correct order of the products EA, EB, EC and ED in terms of ionic character is: [2025]
EA > EB > EC > ED
EB > EA > EC > ED
ED > EC > EA > EB
ED > EC > EB > EA
(2)
More negative is the electron gain enthalpy value, more is non metallic character in the element and hence more is electronegativity. More is electronegativity of the element (A, B, C or D), higher will be the electronegativity difference between the element and ‘E’. More is electronegativity difference, more is ionic character. As electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative in the order: B > A > C > D, ionic character decreases in the order: EB > EA > EC > ED.
