Solution
The correct option is B14.5 Elements of 2nd period: 3Li4Be5B6C7N8O9F10Ne
7N⇒1s22s22p3
N is more electronegative among the elements. Also has a stable half-filled electron configuration due to which it will have a high first IP but less than Ne as Ne is an inert gas. But the IP value of Ne is more than 14.5eV due to its' inertness.
