Question
Which of the following atoms has the lowest ionization potential?
Options
A.

B.

C.

D.

Solution
Since
has larger size among the four atoms given, thus the electrons present in the outermost orbit will be away from the nucleus and the electrostatic force experienced by electrons due to nucleus will be minimum. Therefore the energy required to liberate electron from outer orbit will be minimum in the case of
