Arrange the following elements in the increasing order of their first ionisation energy.

Solution
The given elements belong to the first group of the periodic table.
The atomic size increases from Li to Cs (across the group). As a result, the effective nuclear charge on the outermost electron decreases and hence, the ease of removal increases.
The correct order of first ionisation energy would be:
Cs < K < Na < Li
