प्रश्न

Arrange the following as per the instruction given in the bracket:

Potassium, Lithium, Sodium (increasing order of ionization potential).

एका वाक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

Potassium < Sodium < Lithium.

Explanation:

The ionization potential increases as we move up a group in the periodic table because the atomic size decreases, making it harder to remove an electron. Potassium, Lithium, and Sodium belong to Group 1 (alkali metals).

  • Potassium (K): Has the lowest ionization potential because it has the largest atomic size and the outermost electron is farthest from the nucleus.
  • Sodium (Na): Has a smaller atomic size than potassium, so its ionization potential is higher.
  • Lithium (Li): Has the smallest atomic size and the strongest attraction between the nucleus and the outermost electron, giving it the highest ionization potential.
