The first ionisation enthalpy of Al in kJmol\(^{-1}\) is:
[Given the first ionisation enthalpy of Na, Mg and Si in kJmol\(^{-1}\) are 497, 738, and 787 respectively]
Show Hint
Ionisation enthalpy generally increases across a period and decreases down a group due to changes in atomic size and effective nuclear charge.
