Answer and Explanation:
Answer and Explanation:The size of sodium is larger as compared to lithium. Attraction of valence electron with nucleus will be less in case of sodium. So, removal of first valence electron from sodium is comparatively easier than lithium. Thus, its first ionization energy is smaller than lithium.
