A. ns$$^2$$                                                                                          I. 2080
B. ns$$^2$$np$$^1$$                                                                                   II. 899
C. ns$$^2$$np$$^3$$                                                                                   III. 800
D. ns$$^2$$np$$^6$$                                                                                   IV. 1402
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

As we move across a period from left to right in the periodic table, the first ionization energy generally increases due to an increase in effective nuclear charge and a decrease in atomic size.

  • Fully-filled subshells ($$ns^2$$): Beryllium ($$2s^2$$) has a stable, fully-filled subshell, making it harder to remove an electron compared to Boron ($$2s^2 2p^1$$). Therefore, $$IE_1(\text{Be}) > IE_1(\text{B})$$.
  • Half-filled subshells ($$ns^2 np^3$$): Nitrogen ($$2s^2 2p^3$$) has an extra stable, half-filled p-subshell, making its ionization energy higher than Oxygen ($$2s^2 2p^4$$).
  • Noble Gases ($$ns^2 np^6$$): Neon ($$2s^2 2p^6$$) has a completely filled valence shell (stable octet), giving it an exceptionally high ionization energy. 

  • Element given in List - I:

    • A. $$2s^2 \rightarrow$$ Beryllium (Be)
    • B. $$2s^2 2p^1 \rightarrow$$ Boron (B)
    • C. $$2s^2 2p^3 \rightarrow$$ Nitrogen (N)
    • D. $$2s^2 2p^6 \rightarrow$$ Neon (Ne)

    Using our periodic trends and stability rules, we can arrange these elements in increasing order of their first ionization energy:

    $$\text{Boron (B)} < \text{Beryllium (Be)} < \text{Nitrogen (N)} < \text{Neon (Ne)}$$

  • Neon (D) must have the highest value $$\rightarrow$$ I ($$2080$$)
  • Nitrogen (C) must have the second-highest value $$\rightarrow$$ IV ($$1402$$)
  • Beryllium (A) is higher than Boron $$\rightarrow$$ II ($$899$$)
  • Boron (B) must have the lowest value $$\rightarrow$$ III ($$800$$)
  • A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I (Option A)
