Elements of group `16` generally show lower value of first ionisation enthalpy as compared to the corresponding periods of group `15`. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to extra stable half-filled p orbitals electronic configurations of Group 15 elements, larger amount of energy is required to remove electrons compared to Group 16 elements.
