Correct answer: (b) F > O > N : first ionization enthalpy
Explanation:
On moving along the period, ionization enthalpy increases.
In second period, the order of ionization enthalpy should be as follows : F > O > N
But N has half-filled structure, therefore, it is more stable than O. That’s why its ionization enthalpy is higher than O. Thus, the correct order of IE is F > N > O.
