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.
The element that has the highest second ionization energy is Li. When you remove the first electron from Li you are down to the 1s orbital. They are harder to remove because they are closest to the nucleus.
The ionization energy of calcium (Ca) is the energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom of calcium in the gaseous state. The first ionization energy of calcium is approximately 590.6 kJ/mol, indicating the energy needed to remove the outermost electron. Additional ionization energies are required to remove subsequent electrons.
Atoms of alkaline metals: Rb, Cs, Fr, K, Na, Li. They have a low ionization potential. This potential is expressed in kJ/mol - molar ionization energy and is different for the first, second, third...n electron.
Because Be contains more protons and thus has greater nuclear positivity which exerts a stronger attraction for its electrons which requires more energy to remove one of the electrons leading to a higher ionization potential.
Noble gases have the highest ionization energies of the elements because they don't "want" to lose any electrons. All atoms strive to have a full outer shell like the noble gases and once they reach their equilibrium, it takes a lot of energy to rip off another electron. Alkali metals, by comparison, have a large atomic radius in their period --> low electronegativity --> low ionization energy. Alkali metals have relatively large atomic radii, which means the nucleus is farther away from the electrons than in an atom with a small atomic radius. Because the electrons are far away, it is easier to rip an electron. If it is easy to take away an electron from an atom, then it has a low ionization energy. Alkali metals have lower first ionization energy than noble gases.
The element that has the highest second ionization energy is Li. When you remove the first electron from Li you are down to the 1s orbital. They are harder to remove because they are closest to the nucleus.
It is difficult to remove electron from He than Li. LI easily loses electron and reach stable state.
The element with the smallest first ionization energy is Francium, as it is located in Group 1 of the periodic table and has the largest atomic size. Among the elements listed, lithium (Li) would have the smallest first ionization energy as it is closer to the upper right of the periodic table compared to sodium (Na), potassium (K), and rubidium (Rb).
Rb
The ionization energy increases from Cs to K to Li. This is because as you move from left to right across a period in the periodic table, the effective nuclear charge increases, leading to a stronger attraction between the outer electrons and the nucleus, thus requiring more energy to remove an electron.
Lithium ====> Li , Electronic configuration { 1S2 2S1 } So we have only first ionization An the second will be from Complete stable energy level that need great amount of energy to remove it And that is impossible
The noble gases such as helium, neon, argon, and xenon typically have the highest ionization energies on the periodic table. This is because they have a full valence shell of electrons which makes it difficult to remove an electron.

1st ionization energy is the energy to remove one electron from a neutral atom. 2nd ionization energy is the energy to remove an electron from a positively charged ion. When this is done there is a stronger attraction for electrons in the ion than in the neutral atom because there is one less electron to 'interfere' with the electron being removed.
K (lowest) Na Li B N (highest)
let's say sodium loses an electron and becomes smaller sodium atom (Na) : [Ne]3s^1 => sodium ion (Na^+) : [Ne]now lets say a chlorine ion gains an electron and therefore becomes largerchlorine atom (Cl) : [Ne]3s^1 3p^5 => chlorine ion (Cl-) : [Ne]3s^2 3p^6see how chlorine becomes negative?ionization-energy: energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom. For example, 8.64 X 10^-19 J is required to remove an electron from a gaseous lithium atom. The energy required to remove the first electron from an atom is called the first ionization energy. Therefore, the first ionization energy of lithium equals 8.64 X 10^-19 J. The loss of the electron results in the formation of a Li^+ion.In other words, ionization-energy is how strongly an atom's nucleus holds onto its valence electrons. High ionization-energy means it has a strong hold while low ion... means it has a weak hold. Such atoms are likely to form positive ions.to answer your question directly: Because an atom with a high ionization-energy holds onto its valence electrons, and therefore are less likely to give up its electrons and become positive (because when an atom's nucleus lets go of an electron, it automatically becomes positive).
