Explanation / Answer

Chlorine has highest ionization energy because

Sr has IE of 550 Kj/mole

Rb -- 403 kj/mole

Na-----496Kj/mole

Cl ---- 1251Kj/mole

At ----890 Kj/mole

The following are the configuration of the atoms considered.

Cl =   [Ne] 3s23p5

Na=[Ne]3s1

Mg=[Ne]3s2

Rb=[Kr]5s1

Sr= [Kr]5s2

At=[Xe]4f145d106s26p5

Reason:

Na (11) ,Mg(12) and Cl (17) are in the same row. IE generally increases from across period from left to right as the increasing nuclear charge on successive atoms more tightly binds the electrons being removed to the nucleus. Therefore Na has low IE than Mg. and Na and Mg has lower IE than Cl.

Na(11) and Rubidium (37) are in the Group1 .The IE decreases as we go down the group because the electron being removed is further from the nucleus(in higher energy level). Therefore Na has more IE than Rb.

From the above two statements we see that I.E of Rb is less than Na. Therefore ionization potential of Rb is less than Cl.

Mg(12) and Strontium (St) (38) are in the Group 2 .The IE decreases as we go down the group because the electron being removed is further from the nucleus(in higher energy level). Therefore Mg has more IE than St.

Since Mg has low IE than Cl, Therefore St has less IE than Cl.

Chlorine and astatine are in the same group(VIIA) I.E decreases as you go down the group because the electron being removed is further from the nucleus(in a high energy level). Therefore chlorine has highest I.E compared to At.
