Detailed Solution

The increasing order of the first ionization enthalpies enthalpies of the elements B, P, S and  F (lowest first) is B < S < P < F.

In general, the ionization enthalpy rises with increasing atomic number as we move from left to right in a period. As we move down a group, the ionization enthalpy decreases. 

Because P1s22s22p63s23p3  possesses a stable half-filled electronic state, it has a larger ionization enthalpy than S. Ionization energies are increased in sequence.
