Solution
The correct option is D All of these are in correct statements
Ionisation potential increases from left to right across a period. Therefore ionisation potential of Al is more than magnesium. Option A is incorrect.
Atomic radii increases down the group as new shells are added. Therefore, atomic radii of Cs is more than Li. Option B is incorrect.
S2− is more stable than S− so there is a lot of energy required to form unstable ions. So it is an endothermic process (Refer to image). Option C is incorrect.
