Multiple Choice

The higher the ionization energy...

• the more attracted the valence electron is to the nucleus so it is harder to remove

• the less attracted the valence electron is to the nucleus so it is easier to remove

• the more attracted the valence electron is to another electron, so it is harder to remove

• the more repelled a valence electron is to another electron, so it is easier to remove
