In which of the following arrangements the order is NOT according to the property indicated against it?

  1. A
    (Increasing ionic size)
  2. B
    (Increasing first ionization enthalpy)
  3. C
    (Increasing electron gain enthalpy with negative sign)
  4. D
    (Increasing metallic radius)

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The incorrect order is Option B.In the second period, the general trend for ionization enthalpy is an increase from left to right.However, Nitrogen () has a stable, half-filled -subshell, which makes it harder to remove an electron compared to Oxygen ().Therefore, the correct order is: .
