Question

Why helium has a much higher first ionisation energy than flourine?

Answer 1

Helium has a much higher value because of the extra proton in the nucleus. The additional charge provides a stronger attraction for the electrons making them harder to remove. There is a substantial drop in the value for Lithium. This is because the extra electron has gone into an orbital in the next energy level.
