The decreasing order of the ionization potential of the following elements is
Options
- ANe > Cl > P > S > Al > Mg
- BNe > Cl > P > S > Mg > Al
- CNe > Cl > S > P > Mg > Al
- DNe > Cl > S > P > Al > Mg
Correct answer
B. Ne > Cl > P > S > Mg > Al
Step-by-step solution
Closed shell (Ne), half filled (P) and completely filled configuration (Mg) are the cause of higher value of I.E.
