Explain Magnesium but its second ionization enthalpy is higher than that of Magnesium? |
|
Answer» The second ionization ENERGY of Mg is larger than the first because it always takes more energy to remove an electron from a POSITIVELY CHARGED ION than from a neutral atom. The third ionization energy of magnesium is enormous, however, because the Mg2+ ion has a filled-shell electron configuration. |
