AIIMS 2013 Chemistry Ionization Enthalpy MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
The first ionisation enthalpy of Na, Mg and Si are 496, 737, 776 kJ/mol respectively. What will be the first ionisation enthalpy potential of Al in kJ/mol?
A
B
C
D
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
Na, Mg, Al and Si are in period 3 and as we move across the period, the atomic size decreases and hence ionisation enthalpy increases. So, the order is Na < Mg < Al < Si. Hence, IE of Al is greater than that of Mg (737 kJ/mol) and lower than that of Si (776 kJ/mol).
