The first ionization potentials (eV) of Be and B respectively are (a) 8.29,8.29 (b) 9.32,9.32 (c) 8.29,9.32 (d) 9.32,8.29 |

Answer» The correct option is: (d) 9.32,8.29 Explanation: 4Be → 1s2 2s2, 5B → 1s2 2s2 2p1 Due to stable fully-filled 's'-orbital arrangement of electrons in 'Be' atom, more energy is required to remove an electron from the valence shell than 'B' atom. Therefore 'Be' has higher ionization potential than 'B'. |
