The elements present at points $B$ and $E$ are

Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

Solution:

The electronic configuration of $Be =1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2}$ (fully filled).

The electronic configuration of $N =1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2}, 2 p^{3}$ (half filled).

Due to stable electronic configuration of $Be$ and $N$ the $I E$ of these elements is more than elements of the next group.
