Answer:

To match the correct enthalpy with the elements and to complete the graph, the following points are taken into consideration. As we move from left to right across a period, the ionization enthalpy keeps on increasing due to increased nuclear charge and simultaneous decrease in atomic radius. However, there are some exceptions given below-                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       –

  • In spite of increased nuclear charge, the first ionisation enthalpy of B is lower than that of Be. This is due to the presence of fully filled 2s-orbital of Be [1s22s2] which is a stable electronic arrangement. Thus, higher energy is required to knock out the electron from fully filled 2.v-orbital. While B [1s2 2s2 2p1] contains valence electrons in 2s and 2p-orbitals. It can easily lose its one e– from 2p-orbital in order to achieve noble gas configuration. Thus, first ionisation enthalpy of B is lower than that of Be.
    Since the electrons in 2s-orbital are more tightly held by the nucleus than those present in 2p-orbital, therefore, ionisation enthalpy of B is lower than that of Be.
  • The first ionisation enthalpy of N is higher than that of O though the nuclear charge of O is higher than that of N. This is due to the reason that in case of N, the electron is to be removed from a more stable, exactly half-filled electronic configuration (1s2 2s2 21x2ply 2p1z) which is not present in O (1s2 2s2 2p2x 2p1y 2p1z).
    Therefore, the first ionisation enthalpy of N is higher than that of O. The symbols of elements along with their atomic numbers are given in the following graph
