32. What can you deduce about the relationship between ionization energy and the reactivity of metals?
Accepted Answer
Ionization energy, the energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion, is inversely related to the reactivity of metals. Metals with lower ionization energies are more reactive because they lose their electrons more easily. This reactivity makes them more likely to participate in chemical reactions, including oxidation-reduction reactions.
