If a element has low ionisation energy then it likely to be
a. Metallic
b. Non - metallic
c. Metalloid
d. None of the above
also Explain the anwer

DEAR STUDENT,
Generally, If a element has low ionisation energy then it likely to be Metallic in nature.
Metal atoms lose electrons to nonmetal atoms because metals have relatively low ionization energies.As we move along a period, atomic size decreases and ionisation potential increases so if an element has a low ionization energy then it is likely to be in left side of period (metals) and have largest radius.
Metals at the bottom of a group lose electrons more easily than those at the top. That is, ionization energies tend to decrease in going from the top to the bottom of a group.
Hence, option (a) is correct answer.
Regards,
