Compare the first ionization energies of Carbon and Boron and give reason. |
|
Answer» Solution :ELECTRON configuration of carbon `C : (Z = 6) 1s^(2) 2s^(2) 2p^(2)`. Electron configuration of boron `B : (Z = 5) 1s^(2) 2s^(2) 2p^(2)` . The first ionization energy of c will be higher than that of B, this is simply because the size of Cis smaller than that of B .DUE to the smaller size of C ATOM, the valence electron of atom feels grater NUCLEAR charge as compare to the valence electron of B . |
