- On Pauling scale, the electronegativity value of N and Cl have same (3.0). - ‌‌Ar,K+,Cl−,Ca2+ and S2− have 18 electrons. So these are isoelectronic species. - The correct order of first ionization enthalpy is Si>Mg>Al>Na First ionisation enthalpy of Mg is higher than Al because the penetration of a 3 s -electron to the nucleus is more than that of a 2p-electron. - Generally down the group atomic radii increases
