MCQ
The incorrect statement among the following is:
  • A
    The first ionisation potential of Al is less than the first ionisation potential of Mg.
  • B
    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 of potential of Mg is greatest.

Answer

  1. The second ionisation potential of Mg is greater than the second ionisation potential of Na.

Explanation:

After removal of an electron sodium acquires stable noble gas configuration. It is difficult to remove electron from stable noble gas configuration species.

Therefore, second ionization potential of Mg is less than that of Na.
