### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Ionization Energy**: Ionization energy is defined as the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the valence shell of an isolated gaseous atom. 2. **Understanding the Factors Affecting Ionization Energy**: Ionization energy is influenced by several factors, primarily the effective nuclear charge (Z-effective) and the size of the atom. - The greater the effective nuclear charge, the higher the ionization energy, as the nucleus holds the electrons more tightly. ...
