Two `p`-block elements `x` (outer configuration `ns^(2) np^(3)`) and `z` (outer configuration `ns^(2) np^(4)`) occupy neighbouring positions in a period. Using this information which of the following is correct with respect to their ionisation potential `I_(x)` and `I_(z)`.

A

`I_(x) gt I_(z)`

B

`I_(z) gt I_(x)`

C

`I_(z) = I_(x)`

D

Relation between `I_(x)` and `I_(x)` is uncertain

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Stable configuration of X (due to half-filled orbitals than that of Z.
`:. I_(x) gt I_(z)`
