The correct order of first ionization enthalpy for the given four elements is :
If first ionization enthalpies of elements X and Y are 419 kJ mol-1 and 590 kJ mol-1, respectively and second ionization enthalpies of X and Y are 3069 kJ mol-1 and 1145 kJ mol-1, respectively. Then correct statement is :
Identify the incorrect match.
Match the following : Which of the following is correct option?
For the second period elements the correct increasing order of first ionization enthalpy is :
The element Z = 114 has been discovered recently. It will belong to which of the following family/group and electronic configuration ?
In which of the following options the order of arrangement does not agree with the variation of property indicated against it ?
The formation of the oxide ion, O2-(g) from oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown below: O(g) + e- O-(g); H = -141 kJ mol-1 O-(g) + e- O2-(g); H = +780 kJ mol-1 Thus, process of formation of O2- in gas phase is unfavourable even though O2- is isoelectronic with neon.
