Q. Which is not the correct order for the stated property?

A) $Ba > Sr > Mg$ ; atomic radius
B) $F > O > N$ ; first ionisation enthalpy
C) $Cl > F > I$; electron affinity
D) $O > Se > Te$; electronegativity
Explanation

(b)
Om moving along a period, ionisation enthalpy increases. Thus, the order of ionisation enthalpy should be as follow :
$F > O > N$
But N has half-filled structure, therefore, it is more stable than O, That’s why its ionisation erthalpy is highper than O. Thus, the correct order of IE is
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ F > O > N$
