How would you explain the fact that the second ionisation potential is always higher than first ionisation potential?​

Explanation:

The reason for second ionization energy is higher than the first relates to the attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. When one electron is removed from an atom, the neutral atom becomes positive. ... Thus, the second electron is harder to remove and the ionization requires more energy.
