Four sucessive members of the first two transition elements are listed below with their atomic numbers. Which one of them is expected to have highest third ionisation enthalpy ?

Answer»

Vanadium (Z = 23)
Chromium (Z = 24)
Manganese (Z = 25)
Iron (Z = 26)

Solution :For third ionisation energy, the last configuration are :
`V : 3d^(3) : Cr : 3d^(4) : Mn : 3d^(5) , Fe : 3d^(6)`
So Mn has STABLE configuration due to HALF FILLD d-subshell.
