Which of the following best describes ionization energy?

The total amount of energy required to remove all electrons from an atom

The average amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom

The maximum amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom

The minimum amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom (correct)

What are valence electrons?

Electrons located in the innermost shell of an atom

Electrons located closest to the nucleus of an atom

Electrons located furthest from the nucleus of an atom (correct)

Electrons located in the middle of an atom

Why are valence electrons the first to be stripped away during ionization?

Because they are closest to the nucleus

Because they have the highest energy

Because they are influenced the least by the positively charged nucleus (correct)

Because they have the lowest energy
