Question 27

Consider the following ionization enthalpies of two elements 'A' and 'B' 

image

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

Solution

For both elements the big jump comes between the 2nd and 3rd ionization enthalpies, so each has 2 valence electrons and belongs to group 2. Ionization enthalpy decreases down a group, and B has lower values than A, so B lies below A. These are Be (A) and Mg (B).
