JEE Main 2021 · 27 July · Evening Shift · Chemistry · Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

The CORRECT order of first ionisation enthalpy is:

The CORRECT order of first ionisation enthalpy is:

Options

  1. AMg<S<Al<PMg < S < Al < P
  2. BMg<Al<S<PMg < Al < S < P
  3. CAl<Mg<S<PAl < Mg < S < P
  4. DMg<Al<P<SMg < Al < P < S

Correct answer

C. Al<Mg<S<PAl < Mg < S < P

Step-by-step solution

The ionization energy of the elements increases from left to right in the periodic table. The first ionization of magnesium is greater than that of aluminium because magnesium has a stable complete electronic configuration 1s22s22p63s21{s}^{2}2{s}^{2}2{p}^{6}3{s}^{2}, so it requires more energy to remove the first electron from it, whereas aluminium has electronic configuration 1s22s22p63s23p11{s}^{2}2{s}^{2}2{p}^{6}3{s}^{2}3{p}^{1} which need lesser energy than that of magnesium. Similarly, phosphorus has more ionisation energy than sulphur due to the half filled electronic configuration in the phosphorus.

MgAlPS→IE.order⇒Al<Mg<S<PMgAlPS \to IE . order ⇒ Al < Mg < S < P
