hey sister here is your answer
Ionization potential is the energy required to permanently remove a mole of electrons from a mole of an atom. This process leaves the atom with an excess of positive charges coming from the extra number of protons left after the ionization, the resultant positively charged species is called a cation. This extra positive charge brings about a much greater pull of the nucleus on the remaining electrons of the cation leading to a smaller species, this means the nucleus is having a firmer grip on the surrounding electrons than before.
Taking away a second electron (this process leads to the second ionization potential) will require fighting against this very high nuclei force which is having a firmer grip on the electrons like we said previously, so will require much ore energy to overcome this force for that second electron to be released. reasons why the second ionization potential is always greater than the first.
hope it helps you dear
