    • Why is removing an electron from a cation more difficult than from a neutral atom?

  • Due to the stronger electrostatic attraction to the cation. (correct)
  • Due to the larger size of the cation.
  • Due to the presence of more electrons in the cation.
  • Due to the lower positive charge on the cation.

    • What happens to successive ionization energies for one element?

  • They remain constant.
  • They become negative.
  • They fluctuate.
  • They increase. (correct)
  • They decrease.
