Give reason: Sodium atom has lower ionisation energy than chlorine atom.

1 Answer

Answer :

Sodium is in the 1 st group whereas chlorine is in 17 th group. Atomic size decreases down

the group. We know that Ionisation energy increases with decrease in atomic size. Hence

sodium atom has lower ionisation energy than that of chlorine atom.
