Detailed Solution
The second ionisation potential is presented as IP2 is equal to the second ionisation energy.
Mathematically, writing this relation for Mg, Al, Si and P we have:
For Mg:
For Al:
For Si:
For P:
So, the element A is Mg as its second ionisation energy is less due to its instability and Al is more stable after the second ionisation, so having a higher value of . Similarly, Si would have a smaller value of second ionisation energy due to its instability and P would have a higher value for the same as it becomes stable.
Hence, the correct labelling would be , and making option B the correct answer.
