No that is incorrect. Normally atoms with a low ionization energy form cations since they are able to easily lose an electron therefore making it a cation. On the other hand something with a high ionization energy would generally have a high electro-negativity therefore tending to gain electrons to form anions.

Sodium an alkali metal and chlorine a halogen are both in Period 3 of the periodic table Which element has a higher ionization energy?

Chlorine has a higher ionization energy. Chlorine's tendency is to gain electrons, not lose them as metals usually do.


What is the ionizaton energy present example?

The energy required to remove electron from atom are called ionization energy. Larger atom or molecule have lower ionization energy and molecule have higher ionization energy.


Which element has a higher first ionization energy than chlorine Cl?

Ionization energy decrease down the group.So in halogens,Fluorine has highest 1st ionization energy.

What has the larger first ionization energy lawrencium or neon?

The first ionization energy of neon is higher: 2 080,7 kJ/mol.


Does potassium or bromine have a higher ionization energy?

Bromine has because the ionization energy increases as you move across and decreases as you move down.

Why is the ionistaion energy of magnesium higher than that of sodium?

because ionization energy increases from left to right on the periodic table. Ionization energy is the amount of energy needed to take an electron away from the atom, or the energy needed to ionize it. Since Sodium is more likely to give up an ion to complete the octet rule, it has a higher ionization energy.


Why does bromine have a higher ionization energy than selenium?

Bromine has the highest.


Does the element Br have the highest ionization energy?

Krypton has a higher value.
