Helium has a higher ionization energy than in lithium. Further, helium has the highest first ionization energy in all the elements in the Periodic Table.
Lithium has an electronic configuration of [He]2s1. The outer electron is further out and experiences a lower effective nuclear charge.
The 2s electron is further out from the nucleus than the 1s electrons in He. Lithium has an atomic radius of 152pm, whereas helium is calculated at 81pm.
The effective nuclear charge on the helium electrons is higher than that acting on the 2s electron in Lithium. Estimates vary a little but roughly for helium it is .69 units. For Lithium the effective nuclear charge is 1.3 due to the "shielding" caused by the inner 1s electrons.
both are in the same period which accounts for closeness. they are nonetheless different because there are more protons in the nucleus which means electrons are brought closer to it so there is a higher ionisation energy or potential
, the alkali metals are powerful reducing agents. Lithium in aqueous solution is as strong a reducing agent as Caesium. This is probably due to high hydration energy of small lithium ion, which compensates for high ionisation energy. The hydration energy of alkali metal ions follows the order: Li+ > Na+ > K+ > Rb+ > Cs+ . Due to extensive hydration, Li+ ion has the highest hydration energy, as a result of which reduction potential of Li is higher than other alkali metals. Thus most powerful reducing agent in solution is lithium.
Lithium nitrate and lithium chloride flame tests produce the same color because it is the lithium electrons that are raised to a higher energy level and then drop back down to their ground state. Any ionic compound containing lithium will give the same results. Flame tests are used to show the color and spectrum of the element as its electrons are raised to a higher energy level and then fall back to their ground state.
When you burn lithium chloride, or any other lithium salt, you get a crimson flame, due to the positive lithium ions. The heat from burning the substance excites the outer electrons of the lithium ions to higher energy levels, when they drop back to the ground state, energy is released as light, and the wavelength of that light corresponding to that drop is crimson, hence we see a crimson flame.
Bromine has less valence shells than lead making the distance between its valence electron and its nucleus less than that of lead. This means that there is greater attraction between the nucleus and electron for bromine and it requires a higher ionisation energy to remove its electron.
The ionisation energy depends on the orbital from which the electron is removed and also the distance of the orbital from the nucleus. In the case of Helium, the electron is removed from 1s orbital whereas in the case of argon it is from 3p orbital. As 1s is closer to the nucleus, the force of attraction experience by these electrons is higher and hence helium will have higher 1st ionisation energy.

The ionisation enthalpy of potassium is lower than that of sodium.
In the first period, the ionization energy increases from left to right across the period. Therefore, the electrons on the right side of the first period (e.g., helium, neon) have higher ionization energies compared to the electrons on the left side (e.g., hydrogen, lithium).
1.A small atomic/ionic radius 2.therefore less number of protons 3. more net nuclear attraction between the positively charged nucleus 4. higher energy is needed to break those bonds. 5. therefore an element has high ionisation energy
The nuclear energy available in the hydrogen. This is a kind of potential energy. Hydrogen has a higher energy level than helium.

Yes. Check the Wikipedia article on "specific heat", and you'll find some - for example ammonia, lithium at certain temperatures, and helium.
