The first ionization enthalpies of \(\mathrm{Na}, \mathrm{Mg}\) and \(\mathrm{Si}\) are respectively 496,737 and \(786 \mathrm{KJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\). What would be the first ionization enthalpy of \(\mathrm{Al}\) in \(\mathrm{KJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\) ?

  1. A \(450\)
  2. B \(750\)
  3. C \(575\)
  4. D \(800\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(575\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Na}, \mathrm{Mg}, \mathrm{Al}\) and \(\mathrm{Si}\) lie in the same period \(\left(3^{\text {rd }}\right.\) period) and therefore the effective nuclear charge increases as \(\mathrm{Na} < \mathrm{Mg} < \mathrm{Al} < \mathrm{Si}\) because of which their ionization…
