Question

Write the full electon configuration of the period 3 element with the following successive ionization energy (KJ/mol)

I1=756; I2= 1223; I3=2732; I4=11,039; I5=14,228 

Not sure if it's Al or Mg

Expert Solution
Step 1

Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion in its ground state. It is a measure of the strength of the attraction between the negatively charged electrons and the positively charged nucleus.

Higher ionization energies correspond to stronger attractions and more difficult removal of an electron.
