Explanation:
When one electron is removed from an atom, the neutral atom becomes positive.
When one attempts to remove a second electron from a positive ion, there is more attraction between the electrons and the nucleus due to the extra proton.
Thus, the second electron is harder to remove and the ionization requires more energy.
HOPE IT IS USEFUL ☺️☺️☺️

Answer:
The second ionization energy of magnesium is greater than the first because it is already positively charged and it always takes more energy to remove an electron from a positively charged ion than from a neutral atom
