**Question:**Which atom or ion has the smallest ionization energy?**Options:**a. - ○ Cs- ○ Ge- ○ Arb. - ○ K- ○ Br- ○ Ni---**Explanation:**The question asks to identify the element with the smallest ionization energy among the given options. Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its gaseous state. Generally, ionization energy decreases as you move down a group in the periodic table and increases as you move across a period from left to right. Elements like cesium (Cs) and potassium (K), which are lower in a group of alkali metals, typically have lower ionization energies.
