Answer
(a) Cl
(b) Ne
Reason
(a) Cl — Among the three elements, Cl is the rightmost in period 3. As ionisation energy increases when moving across a period from left to right hence ionisation energy is highest for Cl.
(b) Ne — It is the rightmost element in period 2 and an inert gas. Hence it has the highest ionisation potential.
