NEET Chemistry Periodic Table MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

Considering the modern periodic table, which element from the following has the highest second ionization enthalpy?

A

Element I with ∆H1 = 520 kJ/mol and ∆H2 = 7300 kJ/mol

B

Element II with ∆H1 = 419 kJ/mol and ∆H2 = 3051 kJ/mol

C

Element IV with ∆H1 = 1008 kJ/mol and ∆H2 = 1846 kJ/mol

D

Element V with ∆H1 = 2372 kJ/mol and ∆H2 = 5251 kJ/mol

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Element I has the highest second ionization enthalpy (∆H2 = 7300 kJ/mol) as compared to the others listed. Ionization enthalpy increases with increasing nuclear charge and effective nuclear attraction in the periodic table.
