    P has higher ionisation energy due to stable half-filled congiguration.

    Variation in the period among the representative elements:  Ionisation energies generally increase along the period because in moving left to right in a period the effective nuclear charge per outermost electron increases while the corresponding principal quantum number remains same.  However, due to half-filled configuration, P has higher IP than S.

    Dear student...Option D is correct answer

    eduncle-logo-app

    Phosphorus has more ionisation potential than sulphur

    eduncle-logo-app

    In case of phosphorus, it has fully filled ‘p' orbital. Generally, fully filled orbitals are more stable.Hence,we need more energy to remove an electron. In case of sulphur,it has one unpaired electron in' s' orbital.comparatively it is quite easy to remove an electron from ‘s' orbital(since it has only one electron). Thus, phosphorus is having more ionisation energy than sulphur.
