Options:
  • A Al3+<Mg2+<Na+<F- (increasing ionic size)
  • B B<C<N<O (increasing first ionization enthalpy)
  • C I < Br < F < Cl (increasing electron gain enthalpy)
  • D Li<Na<K<Rb (increasing metallic radius)

The correct answer is: B<C<N<O (increasing first ionization enthalpy)
N is having ns2 np3 (Half-filled configuration) which is extra stable electronic configuration, so high amount of energy will be required to remove outermost electron. Hence,N has high IP than O which is having ns2 np4 electronic configuration.
