Which energy level requires the most energy to remove an electron?
This is an electron situated on the outermost level.
As an atom it is the whole atom. As a part it is the electron (which has no volume).
The atomic number, proton and electron are all the same amount in an element.
It requires a certain amount of energy to raise an electron from a specific level to another specific level; the same amount of energy is released again if it falls back down. One - the electron moving up an energy level - corresponds to the absorption of energy; the other - the electron falling down - corresponds to the emission of energy.
yes it does Update - Correct, the atomic number which sorts each element on to the periodic table is the amount of electrons inside an atom of that element. If an electron is lost then it becomes a positive ion but if an electron is gained the atom becomes a negative ion.

Yes, argon can form ions, but it is less likely to do so because it is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, making it stable and unreactive. It would require a significant amount of energy to remove an electron from argon to form an ion.
Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom in the gaseous state. It is a measure of how tightly the electron is held by the nucleus of the atom. Elements with higher ionization energies require more energy to remove an electron and are less likely to form ions.
The electron in the outermost shell will emit the greatest amount of energy when dropping electron levels because it has the highest energy level. Electrons in higher energy levels have more energy to release when transitioning to lower energy levels.
They both show the amount of electrons in the outer shell.
The atomic number, proton and electron are all the same amount in an element.
The amount of electrons is balanced by the same amount of protons in a neutral atom, such as for the neutral hydrogen atom; it has 1 proton and 1 electron.
Electron affinity is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Or an energy released by adding an electron to a gaseous atom ( ie, negative quantity). In this case, if an element has a negative Electron Affinity, its indicating that this element is stable than the neutral ones.

The energy change that occurs when an electron is added to a neutral atom. This is usually exothermic. Noble Gases are excluded from this. Equation: X(element)+e-(electron)---------> X-1+ energy
