The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Ionisation energy is the energy required to remove an electron from outer shell of an atom. Since, on moving from left to right in a period, size decreases, thus, larger amount of energy is required to remove an electron, ie, ionisation energy increases.
Although the size of $O$ atom is smaller as compared to $N$ but the ionisation energy of $N$ is higher. This is because in case of $N$, the electron is to be removed from half-filled $2 p^{3}$ orbital. Thus, the order of ionisation energy is
$O < N < F$

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
