Detailed Solution
As we move across a period, the size of atoms decreases. Therefore, alkaline earth metals have larger size of the atoms and hence, low ionization energies in comparison to the p block elements. The ionization energies decrease down the group as atomic size increases. Hence, the set that represents the correct order of the first ionisation potential is as follows:Be>Mg>Ca
