Which of the following atoms has the lowest ionization potential?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Ionization potential decreases down a group in the periodic table and generally increases across a period. Cesium () is an alkali metal located at the bottom of Group 1. It has the largest atomic radius among the given options, meaning its outermost electron is least tightly bound to the nucleus, resulting in the lowest ionization potential.
