The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

For second ionisation potential, electron will have to be removed from valence shell of the following ions: In general, ionisation energy increases from left to right in a period. However, exception occur between adjacent atoms in a period, greater amount energy is required for removal of electron from completely half-filled or completely filled orbital than the same for adjacent atom with either less than completely half-filled or less than completely filled orbital. Therefore, ionisation potential of $O^+$ is greater than that of F+. Also ionisation potential of $N^+$ is greater than $C^+$ but less than
both $O^+ \, and \, F^+$ (periodic trend). Hence, overall order is 2nd IP : O > F > N > C.

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes - Classification

Classification of Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are as follows:

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on the Basis of the Number of Halogen Atoms:

These are further classified as mono, di, or polyhalogen (tri-,tetra-, etc.) compounds depending on whether they contain one, two or more halogen atoms in their structures. For example;

  • Monohaloalkane
  • Dihaloalkane
  • Trihaloalkane

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on Compounds Containing sp3 C—X Bond (X= F, Cl, Br, I)

This class includes:

  • Alkyl halides or haloalkanes (R—X)
  • Allylic halides
  • Benzylic halides

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on Compounds Containing sp2 C—X Bond

This class includes:

  • Vinylic halides
  • Aryl halides
