The dand fblock elements - Result Question 21

####21. The correct order of decreasing second ionisation enthalpy of Ti(22),V(23),Cr(24) and Mn(25) is :

[2008]

(a) Cr>Mn>V>Ti

(b) V>Mn>Cr>Ti

(c) Mn>Cr>Ti>V

(d) Ti>V>Cr>Mn

Show Answer

Solution:

(a) Ti; Z (22) is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d2

V;Z(23) is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d3

Cr;Z(24) is 1s22s22p63s23p63d64s1

Mn;Z(25) is 1s22s22p63s23d54s2

The second electron in all the cases (except Cr ) is taken out from 4s-orbital and for Cr it is taken from half-filled 3d-orbital. The force required for removal of second electron will be more for Mn than others (except for Cr ) due to having more positive charge. Based on this, we find the

Unknown environment 'tabular' \ \hline=Unknown environment 'tabular' & \ \hline \end{tabular} correct order Mn>V>Ti.

i.e. Cr>Mn>V> Ti.
