what additional patterns can you find in the ionization energy for the third period? consider all patterns, including where you have the largest increase. give your rational
The increasing order of first Ionization enyhalpy of 3rd period elements
Group 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Na < Mg > Al < Si < P > S < Cl < Ar
In 3rd period, element with highest ionization enthalpy is argon due to stable octet cofiguration.
Case1. Mg > Al
Due to stable ns2 configuration of Mg
Case2. P > S
phosphorous has half filled p subshell in its valency shell that gives extra stability and hence more energy is required to remove an electron.
