The first ionization potential of Mg is...

The first ionization potential of `Mg` is

A

less than Al

B

more than Al

C

equal to Al

D

can be less or more than Al

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Mg has more `IE_(1)` and `Al` since the electron has to be removed from completely filled s - valance shell of Mg.
