The noble gases of each period have the highest ionization energies in their periods. Refer to the related link to see a graph showing the ionization energies of the elements across each period.
The Noble Gases are 'happy' because they have all the electrons they want. Therefore, they don't want to let go of any of their electrons and become an ion. Remember, every element wants to be cool like the Noble Gases and have their valence electron fields full.
Yes, Noble gases have high ionization energies because they are so stable and it requires a lot of energy to remove an electron.
Yes they do
Fluorine because it is the furthest right on the periodic table. Do no include noble gases in energies.
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals are are stable. they do not donate electrons and hence are not included in ionization energy trend.
Noble gases have filled shells, which is the most stable configuration for an atom. Removing an electron from a noble gas would increase the energy more than if you removed an electron from, for example, nitrogen.
Metals have the least ionization energy
Yes they do
Helium (He) has the highest first ionization energy. Ionization energy increase as you go across the periodic table from left to right
Fluorine because it is the furthest right on the periodic table. Do no include noble gases in energies.
Group 8 (noble gases) have the highest first ionization energy because they are already stable and don't want to lose any electrons. Ignoring the noble gases, however, group 7 halogens (F, Cl, Br, I, etc.) have the highest first ionization energy. That's because these elements have seven valence electrons, and they don't want to give up any electrons - they want another one!
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals are are stable. they do not donate electrons and hence are not included in ionization energy trend.

Metals have the least ionization energy
Noble gases are the quiet ones, they are the least reactive on the Periodic Table. Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2 valence electrons). Helium and neon have filled valence shells. The noble gases have high ionization energies and stable electronic configuration, so they have little tendency to gain or lose electrons. Hence they are chemically inert and generally do not form compounds under normal conditions. The noble gases have low boiling points and are all monatomic gases at room temperature.
Alkali gases only have 1 electron needing to be removed to reach a stable noble gas configuration. Alkaline earths have two electrons. Alkali metals thus have the lower ionization energy of the two groups.

Non-metals have higher ionization energies within the same period. This is because non-metals want to gain electrons to be able to be like the nearest noble gas.
