Magnesium (Mg) will have maximum second ionization potential.
Explanation:
- Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom. Atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic configuration is .
- In order to attain stability, magnesium loses two electrons and thus acquires a noble gas electronic configuration. Hence, it will be difficult to remove further electrons from as it is already stabilized.
- Beryllium has electronic configuration as so, when it loses two electrons then its electronic configuration will be . Further, loss of an electron is not possible. therefore, it will not have maximum second ionization potential.
- Atomic number of boron is 5 and its electronic configuration is and it will readily lose more than one electron. Hence, it will not have maximum second ionization potential.
- Atomic number of aluminium is 13 and its electronic configuration is and it will readily lose more than one electron. Hence, it will not have maximum second ionization potential.
