Ionisation of magnesium??

Can anyone tell me and explain what's the 1st and 3rd ionisation of magnesium as an equation?
Thanks

The time it took you to log onto TSR and write this thread... You could've opened a textbook and worked it out :p:

xxxx

Mg (g) -> Mg+(g) + e- is the first ionisation energy, and Mg+ (g) -> Mg2+ + e- is the second ionisation energy... now you work out the third.

Mg2+(g) ~> Mg3+(g) + e- for anyone wondering
