The first ionisation energies of magnesium and aluminium are respectively given by
Options
- A7.64, 5.98
- B7.64, 7.64
- C5.98, 7.64
- D5.98, 5.98
Correct answer
A. 7.64, 5.98
Step-by-step solution
I E of M g > I E of A l Electronic configuration of Mg = 1 s 2 , 2 s 2 , 2 p 2 , 3 s 2 Al = 1 s 2 , 2 s 2 , 2 p 6 , 3 s 2 , 3 p 1 M g has stable configuration (fulfilled) than A l so removal of an electron is difficult hence, required more energy i.e. more ionisation energy.
