Explain the question: Identify incorrect ionization trend.

Concept: Configuration and IE trends.

Solution:
The third ionization energy (IE3) is the energy required to remove an electron from a dipositive
cation (M2+).
Comparing the electronic configurations: Na2+ is [1s22s22p5] (isoelectronic with Fluorine),
while Mg2+ is [1s22s22p6] (stable noble gas configuration isoelectronic with Neon).
Removing an electron from a completely filled, highly stable noble gas subshell in
Mg2+ requires significantly more energy than from the partially filled subshell in Na2+; thus,
the correct order is Mg > Na.
This makes Statement 1 the incorrect match.
Regarding the other options: Pd(4d10) has a higher IE1 than Ag(4d105s1) because removing a
4d electron is harder than a 5s electron; He is higher than H due to noble gas stability and
higher Z; and IE2(Li)(1s2 → 1s1) is much higher than IE2(Ne)(2p5 → 2p4) because the 1s electrons
are much closer to the nucleus.

Final Answer: Option (1)

Concepts : Comparison of 2nd EA vs. 1st EA of stable/half-filled configurations.

Solution:

A. O− and S− involve 2nd EA, which is always endothermic. Between them, O− is smaller and
thus has higher repulsion.

B. N has a 2p3 (half-filled) configuration. Its 1st EA is slightly endothermic but much less
 than the 2nd EA of Oxygen.

C. Therefore, O−→O2− requires the most energy.

Question Explanation:
Count how many elements from the given list have a first ionization energy (I.E1) lower than
that of nitrogen (N).

Concept: This question is based on Periodic Trends, First Ionization Energy.

Solution:
First ionization energy (I.E1) is the energy required to remove the outermost electron from an
atom.
Nitrogen has a high I.E1 because it has a stable half-filled 2p3 configuration.

Now compare each element with nitrogen:

 A. Be → larger size and paired electrons → I.E1 < N

B. B → electron removed from 2p orbital → I.E1 < N

C. C → less stable than half-filled N → I.E1 < N

D. P → larger atom than N → I.E1 < N

E. F → very small size, high nuclear charge → I.E1 > N

F. He → noble gas, extremely stable → I.E1 > N

So, 4 elements (Be, B, C, P) have lower first ionization energy than nitrogen.
