<span>well thats a simple one.just remeber that to form a +ion is not as easy.becasue to form a poitive ion u needto remove electron sfrom it.
Ionization energy is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from an atom/molecule. So the higher the ionization energy, the more energy is required to remove the outermost electron from the atom. </span>
