b) Alkali metals; Noble gases
c) Noble gases; Alkali metals
The group with the highest ionization energy is(option c) noble gases due to their full electron shell, making it difficult to remove an electron. The group with the lowest ionization energy is(option c) alkali metals because they have only one electron in their outermost shell, which can be easily removed.
The answer to the question is (c) Noble gases; Alkali metals. Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion. A higher ionization energy means it is harder to remove an electron.
Noble gases have the highest ionization energies because they have a full electron shell, so they do not readily give up an electron. On the other hand, alkali metals have the lowest ionization energy, because they have only one electron in their outer shell, which is relatively easy to remove.
