Question #238327

Based on ionization energy to the elements of the first group, with increasing ordinal number reactivity?

Expert's answer

Ionization energy (IE) is the energy required to remove the highest-energy electron from a neutral atom. In general, ionization energy increases across a period and decreases down a group.

The greater the ionization energy, the more difficult it is to remove an electron. The ionization energy may be an indicator of the reactivity of an element
