Magnesium loses electrons successively to form `Mg^(+),Mg^(2+)andMg^(3+)` ions . Which step will have the highest ionisation energy and why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that the elements having similar valence electronic configuration belong to the same group of the periodic table. Therefore, elements A and B having three electrons in the valence shell belong to the same group i.e., group 13 of the periodic table
