Question

ie of sulphur is less than chlorine
​

Answer 1

Answer:

If one electron is removed from the valence shell of S, it would acquire ahalf-filled 3p orbital which has more stability than incompletely filled orbital of Cl if one electron is removed from it. ... Thus, the IE of sulphur is lower than that of chlorine.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of S is [Ne]3s23p4, while that of Cl is [Ne]3s23p5. If one electron is removed from the valence shell of S, it would acquire a half-filled 3p orbital which has more stability than incompletely filled orbital of Cl if one electron is removed from it.

Thus, the IE of sulphur is lower than that of chlorine.
