Q. The highest first ionisation potential is of

A) Carbon
B) Boron
C) Oxygen
D) Nitrogen
Explanation

(d)
Ionisation potential is the amount of energy required to take out most loosely bonded electron from isolated gaseous atom. Its value increases in a period. Element having stable configuration have exceptionally high ionisation potential
N has highest ionisation potential among
C, B, O and N ($\because N\ has\ 2p^{3}$stable configuration).
