1 Predict Whether The Energy Required To Remove An Electron From Magnesium And Potassium Would Be More Or Less Than That Required To Remove An Electron From Sod class=

Sagot :

In both cases less energy is required

But comparetively Mg require more energy than K

Let's see the electron configuration of Both

  • [Mg]=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²=[Ne]3s²
  • [K]=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹=[Ar]4s¹

K has only one valence electron so very less ionization enthalpy so less energy required

Mg has 2 so more IE hence more energy required
