With which of the following electronic configuration of an atom has the lowest ionisation enthalpy?

Updated On: May 1, 2024
  • $1s^2 , 2s^2, 2p^5$
  • $1s^2,2s^2 2p^3$
  • $1s^2,2s^2 2p^6,3s^1$
  • $1s^2 , 2s^2 2p^6$

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The electronic configuration $1s^2,2s^2 2p^6,3s^1$ shows lowest ionisation energy because this configuration is unstable due to the presence of one electron in s-orbital. Hence, less energy is required to remove the electron.

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes - Classification

Classification of Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are as follows:

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on the Basis of the Number of Halogen Atoms:

These are further classified as mono, di, or polyhalogen (tri-,tetra-, etc.) compounds depending on whether they contain one, two or more halogen atoms in their structures. For example;

  • Monohaloalkane
  • Dihaloalkane
  • Trihaloalkane

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on Compounds Containing sp3 C—X Bond (X= F, Cl, Br, I)

This class includes:

  • Alkyl halides or haloalkanes (R—X)
  • Allylic halides
  • Benzylic halides

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on Compounds Containing sp2 C—X Bond

This class includes:

  • Vinylic halides
  • Aryl halides
