Which of the following should be the order of increasing values of second ionisation potential of `C_(6),N_(7),O_(8)` and `F_(9)`A. `C gt N gt F gt O`B. `C lt F lt N lt O`C. `C lt F lt N lt O`D. `C lt N lt F lt O`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The second ionisation potential means removal of electron from a cation
`C^(+1) (5e) = 1s^(2),2s^(2),2p^(1)`
`N^(+1) (6e) = 1s^(2),2s^(2),2p^(2)`
`O^(+1) (7e) = 1s^(2),2s^(2),2p^(3)`
`F^(+1) (8e) = 1s^(2), 2s^(2), 2p^(4)`
Therefore `C lt N lt F lt O`
