The correct order of ionisation energy of C, N, O and F is

  • C < N < O < F

  • C < O < N < F

  • F < O < N < C

  • F < N < C < O


B.

C < O < N < F

On moving from left to right in a period, ionisation energy increases. Thus, correct order of ionisation energy of C, N, O, F should be 

C < N < O < F

But the ionisation energy of N is found to be greater than that of O. This is due to the presence of half-filled p-orbitals in N which provide it extra stability. Thus, the correct order is C < O < N < F.
