MCQ
The incorrect statement among the following is :
  • A
    The first ionisation potential of $\ce{Al}$ is less than the first ionisation potential of $\ce{Mg}$.
  • The second ionisation potential of $\ce{Mg}$ is greater than the second ionisation potential of $\ce{N}.$
  • C
    The first ionisation potential of $\ce{Na}$ is less than the first ionisation potential of $\ce{Mg}.$
  • D
    The third ionisation of potential of $\ce{Mg}$ is greatest.

Answer

Correct option: B.
The second ionisation potential of $\ce{Mg}$ is greater than the second ionisation potential of $\ce{N}.$
After removal of an electron sodium acquires stable noble gas configuration. It is difficult to remove electron from stable noble gas configuration species.
Therefore, second ionization potential of $\ce{Mg}$ is less than that of $\ce{Na}$.

An organic compound $P$ having molecular formula $C _6 H _6 O _3$ gives ferric chloride test and does not have intramolecular hydrogen bond. The compound $P$ reacts with $3$ equivalents of $NH _2 OH$ to produce oxime $Q$. Treatment of $P$ with excess methyl iodide in the presence of $KOH$ produces compound $R$ as the major product. Reaction of $R$ with excess iso-butylmagnesium bromide followed by treatment with $H _3 O ^{+}$gives compound $S$ as the major product.
