okk if you like my answer then mark me as brriliant

Explanation:

1. The ionization energy or ionization potential is the energy necessary to remove an electron from the neutral atom. It is a minimum for the alkali metals which have a single electron outside a closed shell. It generally increases across a row on the periodic maximum for the noble gases which have closed shells.
2. As the atomic radius decreases, it becomes harder to remove an electron that is closer to a more positively charged nucleus. ... They experience a weaker attraction to the positive charge of the nucleus. Ionization energy increases from left to right in a period and decreases from top to bottom in a group.
