Respuesta :

The species which will require the least energy for the removal of one

electron is Na+.

What is Ionization energy?

This is the energy required to remove an electron from an isolated neutral

atom. Elements which have lesser electrons in their outermost shell

require a lower ionization energy.

In this scenario, Magnesium is further to the right on the periodic table

than Sodium. This means it will be harder to remove an electron from its

outer shell.  This thereby means Na+  will require the least energy for the

removal of one electron.
