Question

Which type of element requires the least amount of energy to remove an electron?NonmetalsMetalloidsMetalsThe energy required to remove an electron from an atom is the same for all elements.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The ionization energy is the minimum energy required to remove an electron (most loosely).

According to the next picture:

The red arrows show us how the ionization energy increases.

Metals are located mostly on the left side of the periodic table. So, they need the lowest amount of energy to remove an electron.

Answer: Metals
