The first ionization enthalpies of Be ,   B ,   N and O follow the order
Solution
The ionisation enthalpy increases as we go from left to right in a period, while it decreases as we come down a group. So according to this, the order will be . But there are two exceptions, in the case of and because of the highly stable (completely filled orbital) and (half-filled orbital ) valence configuration. Due to this, the correct order is:
.
