Q. For $ d $ block elements the first ionization potential is of the order :

UPSEEUPSEE 2005

Solution:

The ionisation energies increase with increase with atom number. The trend is irregular among $d$ -block elements.

$\begin{matrix}{\text{Element}}&Sc&Ti&V&Cr&Mn&Fe&Co&Ni&Cu&Zn\\ IE (kj/mol^{-1})&631&656&650&652&717&762&758&736&745&905\end{matrix}$

$\therefore \, Zn >\, Fe >\, Cu >\, Cr$ is correct order
