Ionization energy of beryllium is greater than the ionization energy of boron. Why? |
|
Answer» Be (Z= 4) 1s2 2s2 . it has completely filled valence electrons, which requires high IE1 . B(Z =5) 1s2 2s2 2p1 . It has incompletely filled valence electrons, which requires comparatively less IE1. Hence I.E1 Be > I.E1 B. |
