Please explain your work.

Rank these elements according to first ionization energy Highest ionization energy Ar Cl Incorrect. You have correctly identified the general trend, with the noble gas at the top and the alkali metal at the bottom However, there are two exceptions within this general trend. The atom with the ns electron configuration is particularly stable and should move up one spot in the ranking. Similarly, the atom with the ns np3 electron configuration is particularly stable and should move up one spot in the ranking. Si Al Mg Na Lowest ionization energy

Explanation / Answer

Rank Elements Ionization energy 1. (HIGHEST IONIZATION ENERGY) Ar 15,7596 2. Cl 12,9676 3. P 10,4513 4. S 10,36 5. Si 8,1517 6. Mg 7,6462 7. Al 5,9858 8. (LOWEST IONOZATION ENERGY) Na 5,1391
