Solution

The correct option is B

False


The minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an isolated atom in the gaseous state is called ionization energy or enthalpy. Energies required to remove 2nd - 3rd e are called successive ionization energy.

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. Do not confuse ionization energy with electronegativity.
