Explanation / Answer

Moving from left to right across the period 3, electrons populate the same shell ( 3s 3p subshells) and the increase in atomic number signifies that the force of attraction will increase according to the coulomb's law because the distance between the nucleus and outermost electrons decreases.

Therefore, ejecting the outermost electrons require more energy as you move right across the periodic table.
