Ionization energy is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its ground state. It depends on the position of the elements in periodic table. Which of these elements has highest ionization energy? A) B B) C C) F D) Ne

Respuesta :

Ne(neon) has the highest ionization energy among the elements above.

Answer:

D. Ne

Explanation:

Ne Across a period, increasing nuclear charge outweighs the shielding. So the outermost electrons are held more tightly and ionization energy increases as we go across a period. Ne, being placed at the extreme right end of the second period, has the highest ionization energy among the provided options.
