Both Mg2+ and O−2 have 10 electrons each and they are isoelectronic species.
But the size of O−2 is greater than Mg2+ as size∝ez1
ezofMg2+=1012=1.2
ezofO−2=108=0.8
ez=NumberofelectronsNumberofprotons

First and second ionization enthalpies of lithium are $520$ kJ mol$^{-1}$ and $7297$ kJ mol$^{-1}$ respectively. Energy required to convert $3.5$ mg lithium (g) into $\text{Li}^{2+}$(g) $[\text{Li(g)} \rightarrow \text{Li}^{2+}\text{(g)}]$ is _______ kJ mol$^{-1}$. (nearest integer) [Molar mass of Li $= 7$ g mol$^{-1}$]
