1.

Removal of electron becomes easier on moving down the group. 1. Comment the above statement based on ionization enthalpy. 2. How electronic configuration influences the ionization enthalpy value?

Answer»

1. On moving from top to bottom in a given group, size of the atom increases and ionisation enthalpy decreases. Hence, it becomes easier to remove the valence electron.

2. Atoms with octet configuration, half-filled and completely filled configurations have extra stability and hence have higher values of ionization enthalpy.
