Question

Which element has the greatest tendency to lose electrons?
(a) Chlorine (b) Sulphur (c) Francium (d) Berylium.

Answer 1

Answer is C. Francium

Answer 2

Francium has the greatest tendency to lose electrons.

Option: (c)

Explanation:

• Ionization energy is the term used for measuring how difficulty for all atoms to lose its electrons. Lowest ionization energy always resulted in losing of electrons for an atom easily.  

• On the other hand, highest ionization energy means that it will be hard for an atom to lose the electrons.

• On calculating the low and high ionization energy, it will be getting harder for atoms to lose electrons when the element present in higher periodic table and electrons will be lose easily when the element is located low in a periodic table.  

• From the given option, Francium is situated in low level of the periodic table and hence it will tend to lose electrons easily.
