The first ionisation enthalpies (in ) of the second-period elements are 520, 899, 801, 1086, 1402, 1314, 1681, 2081. Select the correct statements.

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C is greater than 3
  4. DExactly two elements ( and ) have a lower value than the element just before them

Answer: B, C, D

Dips occur at B (801 < 899) and O (1314 < 1402), so the first is true. 2081 - 520 = 1561 (true). 1681/520 = 3.23 (true). B is lower than Be, so the last is false.
