    Which represents the correct order of first ionisation potential of third period elements?

    A)  \[Na>Mg>Al>Si\]

    B)  \[Na<Mg<Al<Si\]

    C)  \[Na<Si<Al<Mg\]

    D)  \[Na<Al<Mg<Si\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Generally, ionisation potential increases, as we move from left to right in a period. However, the ionisation potential of II group elements is higher than that of the III group elements. This is because of the fully filled \[s-\]orbitals in II group elements. Hence, the correct order of ionisation potential is \[Na<Al<Mg<Si\]
