Explanation:
Thus, the energy required to remove an electron from magnesium is more than the energy required in sodium. However, the second ionization enthalpy of sodium is higher than that of magnesium because after losing one electron, sodium attains the stable noble gas configuration of neon is 1s2 ,2s2 , 2p6.
