Explain why is there a phenomenal decreases in ionization enthalpy from carbon to silicon ? |
| Answer» Solution :Due to increase in atomic size and screening effect, the force of ATTRACTION of the NUCLEUS for the valence electron decreases CONSIDERABLY in SI as compared to C. As a result , there ISA phenomenal decreases in ionization enthalpy from carbon to silicon . | |
