Fluorine because it is the furthest right on the Periodic Table. Do no include noble gases in energies.
xenon increases from left to right across periods (first ionization energy)
Helium (He) has the highest ionization energy, then Neon (Ne) Ionization energy increases as you go across a period from left to right. Ionization energy decreases as you go down a group. Therefore, elements in the upper right of the periodic table have the highest ionization energy.
123
It's carbon. The trend for 1st ionization energy is that it increases as you move left-to-right across a period. As you move in that direction across period 2, ionization energy increases, and since carbon is the most to the right, it has the highest 1st I.E.
Chlorine has a higher ionization energy. Chlorine's tendency is to gain electrons, not lose them as metals usually do.

phosphorous has highest ionization enthalpy because along the period ionization will increase.
Neon
Sodium
Phosphorus. Across the period, first ionization energy increases.
Argon (#18). It's a noble gas, which means it doesn't react, which means it will be really hard to get it to lose an electron.
