MCQ
The incorrect statement among the following is
  • A
    The first ionisation potential of $Al$ is less than the first ionisation potential of $Mg$
  • The second ionisation potential of $Mg$ is greater than the second ionisation potential of $Na$
  • C
    The first ionisation potential of $Na$ is less than the first ionisation potential of $Mg$
  • D
    The third ionisation potential of $Mg$ is greater than the third ionisation potential of $Al$

Answer

Correct option: B.
The second ionisation potential of $Mg$ is greater than the second ionisation potential of $Na$
b
(b) $I.E.(II)$ of $Na$ is higher than that of $Mg$ because in case of $Na$, the second ${e^ - }$ has to be remove from the noble gas core while in case of $Mg$ removal of second ${e^ - }$ gives a noble gas core.

$Mg$ has high first ionisation potential than $Na$ because of its stable $n{s^2}$ configuration.
