Periodic Classification And Periodic Properties Ques 13
13. The first ionisation potential of $\mathrm{Na}, \mathrm{Mg}, \mathrm{Al}$ and $\mathrm{Si}$ are in the order
(a) $\mathrm{Na}<\mathrm{Mg}>\mathrm{Al}<\mathrm{Si}$
(b) $\mathrm{Na}>\mathrm{Mg}>\mathrm{Al}>\mathrm{Si}$
(c) $\mathrm{Na}<\mathrm{Mg}<\mathrm{Al}>\mathrm{Si}$
(d) $\mathrm{Na}>\mathrm{Mg}>\mathrm{Al}<\mathrm{Si}$

Answer:
Correct Answer: 13.(c)
Solution:
- Ionisation energy increases from left to right in a period. However, exception occur between group 2 and group 13 elements on account of stability of electronic configuration of valence shell.
$\Rightarrow$ The desired order is $\mathrm{Na}<\mathrm{Mg}>\mathrm{Al}<\mathrm{Si}$
