The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect statement from the given options, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A **Statement:** The second ionization energy of selenium is greater than that of nitrogen. - **Electronic Configuration:** - Selenium (Se): [Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁴ - Nitrogen (N): [He] 2s² 2p³ - **Second Ionization Energy:** - For nitrogen, removing one electron from the half-filled 2p subshell (2p³) makes it more stable, thus the second ionization energy (IE2) will be relatively high. - For selenium, after removing one electron, it becomes more stable as it approaches a noble gas configuration, but it is less stable than nitrogen's half-filled state. **Conclusion for A:** The statement is correct; the second ionization energy of selenium is indeed less than that of nitrogen. ### Step 2: Analyze Option B **Statement:** The first ionization energy of C2+ is greater than that of N2+. - **Electronic Configuration:** - C2+: [He] 2s² (removing 2 electrons from carbon) - N2+: [He] 2s² 2p¹ (removing 2 electrons from nitrogen) - **First Ionization Energy:** - C2+ has a full 2s subshell, making it stable, while N2+ has an unpaired electron in the 2p subshell, making it easier to remove. **Conclusion for B:** The statement is correct; the first ionization energy of C2+ is indeed greater than that of N2+. ### Step 3: Analyze Option C **Statement:** The third ionization energy of fluorine is less than that of oxygen. - **Electronic Configuration:** - Fluorine (F): [He] 2s² 2p⁵ - Oxygen (O): [He] 2s² 2p⁴ - **Third Ionization Energy:** - For F, after removing two electrons, it becomes F2+, which has a stable configuration, while O2+ has a half-filled 2p subshell. - Removing an electron from a half-filled subshell is energetically less favorable compared to removing from a stable configuration. **Conclusion for C:** The statement is incorrect; the third ionization energy of fluorine is greater than that of oxygen. ### Step 4: Analyze Option D **Statement:** Halogens have the highest ionization energy in their respective periods. - **Ionization Energy Trend:** - Ionization energy generally increases across a period from left to right. - Halogens, being on the right side of the periodic table, do have the highest ionization energies in their respective periods. **Conclusion for D:** The statement is correct; halogens do have the highest ionization energy in their respective periods. ### Final Conclusion The incorrect statement is **Option C**: "The third ionization energy of fluorine is less than that of oxygen." ---

To determine the incorrect statement from the given options, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A **Statement:** The second ionization energy of selenium is greater than that of nitrogen. - **Electronic Configuration:** - Selenium (Se): [Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁴ - Nitrogen (N): [He] 2s² 2p³ ...
