    Which one of the following has maximum ionization potential?

    A)  \[K\]                    

    B)         \[Be\]

    C)  \[Na\]                 

    D)         \[Mg\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The ionization potential is the amount of energy required to take out the most loosely held electron from a neutral isolated atom. By increasing the atomic size the ionization potential decreases. Ionization potential \[\propto \frac{1}{atomic\text{ }size}\] Be is the smallest atom hence it has maximum ionization potential.
