Question:

Which of the following orders is not correct for the given property?

Show Hint

Ionization enthalpy increases across a period and decreases down a group.

  • Li<Na<K - metallic radius
  • Br<F<Cl - electron gain enthalpy
  • C<N<O - first ionization enthalpy
  • Mg$^{2+}$<Na$^+$<F$^-$ - ionic radius

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

For ionization enthalpy, oxygen has higher ionization enthalpy than nitrogen due to its smaller size and higher effective nuclear charge. Hence, the correct order should be N<O<C.
