The second ionisation enthalpies of Li, Be, B and C are in order

  • Li > B > C > Be

  • Li > C > B > Be

  • Be > C > B > Li

  • B > C > Be > Li


A.

Li > B > C > Be

The ionisation enthalpy depend on the following factors.

(i) Half-filled or fully filled atomic orbitals are more stable than other incomplete orbitals.

(ii) Smaller the size of atom/ion, more is the ionisation energy (IE) For 2nd IE all elements have M+ configuraton.

  Total no.of electrons Outermost configuration
Li+(Z=3) 2 1s2 (fully filled)
Be+(Z=4) 3 2s1(has more size than carbon)
B+(Z=5) 4 2s2 (full filled)
C+(Z=6) 5 2s22p1 (small size)

Hence, correct order for 2nd IE is Li+>B+>C+ >Be+ or Li > B > C > Be.
