Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

The incorrect statement is

  1. A The first ionization enthalpy of K is less than that of Na and Li.
  2. B Xe does not have the lowest first ionization enthalpy in its group.
  3. C The first ionization enthalpy of element with atomic number 37 is lower than that of the element with atomic number 38.
  4. D The first ionization enthalpy of Ga is higher than that of the d-block element with atomic number 30. Correct answer

Solution

On moving down in a group ionisation energy decrease <br/><br/> $\therefore 1^{\text {st }}$ ionisation enthalpy order is $\mathrm{Li}>\mathrm{Na}>\mathrm{K}$ <br/><br/> $\mathrm{Zn}$ has more ionisation energy as compared to Ga because of their pseudo inert gas configuration.
