An acid is an ionic compound that produces positive hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. Acids taste sour and turn blue litmus paper red. A base is an ionic compound that produces negative hydroxide ions when dissolved in water. Bases taste bitter and turn red litmus paper blue.
Among the elements Barium has the lowest Ionization Energy.
<h3>What is Ionization Process ?</h3>
The process by which any neutral atom gets converted into electrically charged by gaining or losing electron is called Ionization Process.
K is an alkali metal it has to lose one electron to attain stable electronic configuration of an inert gas
For removing second electron , a stable configuration has to be broken and so will require high amount of energy.
Ca and Ba are alkaline earth metals.
They both have to lose 2 electrons to attain stable electronic configuration of noble gas.
They have low Iow Ionization Energy as compared to K.
Ca has higher Ionization Energy as compared to Ba because when we move down the periodic table , The ionization energy decreases.
Hence , Among the elements Barium has the lowest Ionization Energy.

We will not be able to tell the genotype of the purple parent as it can either be a homo_zygous dominant or hetero_zygous. Without the complete genotype of the offspring, we would not be able to tell.
