Answer:

Correct Answer: 11. (b)

Solution:

  1. Ionisation energy increases along a period from left to right and decreases down a group. The position of given elements in the periodic table is as
Group No. 2 $\mathbf{1 6}$ $\mathbf{1 8}$
$\mathrm{Ca}$ $\mathrm{S}$ $\mathrm{Ar}$
$\mathrm{Ba}$ $\mathrm{Se}$

Thus, the order of increasing $\Delta H_{\mathrm{IE}_{1}}$ is $\mathrm{Ba}<\mathrm{Ca}<\mathrm{Se}<\mathrm{S}<\mathrm{Ar}$
