It's going to be pretty high, since xenon is a noble gas, and doesn't naturally react with anything, therefore it's not going to naturally want to lose an electron. It can be made to, however, and it's a lot easier for it to lose one than any noble gas above it, because xenon's octet of valence electrons is farther from the nucleus than the others (except radon) so a. it will have a lower ionization energy, b. the octet will experience more nuclear shielding, and c. it will be potentially more reactive (though again, it's not natural.)

The actual ionisation energy is 1170.36 kJ per mole

Which element in the fifth period has the highest ionization energy?

The element in the fifth period with the highest ionization energy is xenon. Ionization energy generally increases across a period from left to right, so xenon, being on the far right of the period, has the highest ionization energy.


What is the relationship between the xenon ionization energy and its chemical properties?

The xenon ionization energy is the amount of energy needed to remove an electron from a xenon atom. Higher ionization energy generally leads to lower reactivity, as it becomes more difficult to remove electrons and form chemical bonds. Therefore, xenon with high ionization energy tends to be less reactive and more stable chemically.


Ionization energies of oxygen and xenon same or not?

No, the ionization energies of oxygen and xenon are not the same. Xenon has higher ionization energy compared to oxygen due to the increased number of electrons and stronger electron-electron repulsion in xenon.


Does fluorine have a higher ionization than xenon?

Yes, fluorine has a higher ionization energy than xenon. Fluorine is a smaller atom with a stronger nuclear charge, making it harder to remove an electron compared to xenon, which is a larger atom with more electron shielding.


Which elements on periodic table have the highest ionization energies?

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.
