The correct order of first ionisation enthalpies of the following elements is

A

`BegtMggtCagtSrgtRagtBa`

B

`RagtBagtSrgtCagtMggtBe`

C

`BegtMggtCagtSrgtBagtRa`

D

`RagtSrgtBagtMggtCagtBe`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Ionisation enthalpy decrease on going down the group.
So, `IEprop1/("size")`
however, radium has exceptionally higher ionisation enthalpy in group 2.
The first ionisation enthalpy in kJ `"mol"^(-1)` of alkali metal and alkaline earth metals are as following:
`Be=899,Mg=737`
`Ca=59.,Sr=549`
`Ra=509,Ba=603`
Hence, order of ionisation enthalpy is
`BegtMggtCagtSrgtRagtBa`
