The high ionisation potential of noble g...

The high ionisation potential of noble gases is due to :

A

large atomic size

B

stable valence shell electronic configuration

C

high nuclear charge

D

low electron affinity.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
These have stable `ns^(2)np^(6)` configuration so these have no tendency to loose electron and hence these have highest ionisation energy.

The value of ionisation potential for inert gases is ________.

The pronounced change from non-metallic behaviour and also increase in the basicity of oxides from nitrogen to bismuth in group 15 is principally due to incresing size of the atoms. The ionisation potential of nitrogen is very high on account of its small size. However, ionisation potential decreases regularly on descending the group. The most unstable hydride is.
