MCQ
What will be the order of Ist ionisation energy
  • $Li > Na > K$
  • B
    $K > Li > Na$
  • C
    $Na > Li > K$
  • D
    $Li > K > Na$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$Li > Na > K$
a
(a) In a group, the ionisation potential decreases from top to bottom. In the alkali group, the ionisation potential decreases from $Li$  to $Cs$

               $  Li$         $Na$           $K$             $Rb$           $cs$

$eV $       $5.3$           $5.1$           $4.3$          $4.2$          $3.9$
