Question

Atom with ____atomic radii and ___ionisation potential tends to gain electrons

• A. large , high
• B. large , low
• C. small , low
• D. small , high

Answer 1

The correct option is D small , high

Ionization energies increase moving from left to right across a period (decreasing atomic radius).
So, atom with small atomic radii and high ionisation potential tends to gain electrons.
