The table below shows first ionization energies of some of the elements in the periodic table.Based on the information in the table, what can you conclude about the ability of noble gases to undergo ionization?

a
Noble gases give up first electrons easily compared to elements in other groups.
b
Noble gases cannot be forced to give up electrons.
c
The willingness of a noble gas to give up electrons decreases from top to bottom within the group.
d
It is more difficult to remove electrons from a noble gas than it is to remove electrons from elements in other groups.

Answer:

It is more difficult to remove electrons from a noble gas than it is to remove electrons from elements in other groups.

Explanation:

Let me restate here that in the noble gases, the outermost shell is filled. Owing to this full shell, noble gases has the outermost eight electrons required  for any specie to attain stability.

It is very difficult to remove an electron from a closed shell. This is why the first ionization energy of noble gases is usually far higher than that of elements from other groups.
