Question

IE for cation is more than neutral atom. why?

Answer 1

Answer:

As the atom become a cation,its number of electrons decreases(but notice that number of protons are same,and hence positive charge is more as compared to negetive charge). Since the number of electrons is less now, the effective nuclear charge has increased due to decrease in electron-electron repulsion
