Outermost electronic configurations of four elements $A, B, C, D$ are given below:
$A: 3s^{2}$
$B: 3s^{2} 3p^{1}$
$C: 3s^{2} 3p^{3}$
$D: 3s^{2} 3p^{4}$
The correct order of first ionization enthalpy for them is:

  • A
    $A < B < C < D$
  • B
    $B < A < D < C$
  • C
    $B < A < C < D$
  • D
    $B < D < A < C$

The first ionisation energies of alkaline earth metals are higher than those of the alkali metals. This is because

Ionization energy of gaseous $Na$ atoms is $495.5 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. The lowest possible frequency of light that ionizes a sodium atom is $(h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s, N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1})$.

If first ionization enthalpies of element $X$ and $Y$ are $419 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $590 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,respectively and second ionization enthalpies of $X$ and $Y$ are $3069 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $1145 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,respectively. Then the correct statement is :-
