Question
In the 2nd period Neon has maximum Ionization Potential because ______.
Options
It has unstable electronic configuration.
It easily accepts electrons.
It easily loses electrons.
The outer most shell is completely filled.
Solution
In the 2nd period Neon has maximum Ionization Potential because the outer most shell is completely filled.
Explanation:
Neon's valence shell is completely filled, making it extremely stable and requiring more energy to remove an electron, giving it the highest ionisation potential in the second period.
