Question

Atoms with a low ionization energy readily give up their valence electrons.
true or false

Answer 1

Atoms with a low ionization energy readily give up their valence electrons. True.

Answer 2

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

The weak electrostatic force between the electrons and nucleus isn't strong enough to cause repulsion and they are loosely held by the nucleus. Generally all ions with low ionization energy loses electrons faster and readily compared to ions with high ionization energy. Most metallic ions of group I, ii, iii lose electrons faster than group 16, 17 elements.
