Question

. Compare alkali and alkaline earth metals on the basis of ionization enthalpy property

Answer 1

Answer:

Ionization enthalpy: Alkaline earth metals have smaller atomic size and higher effective nuclear charge as compared to alkali metals. This causes their first ionization enthalpies to be higher than that of alkali metals. However, their second ionization enthalpy is less than the corresponding alkali metals.
