Which is the most thermodynamically stable form of carbon?
Carbon black
Graphene
Graphite
Diamond
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.
