Q30 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2004 · Chemistry

Which of the following is a favourable factor for cation formation?

A
High electronegativity
B
High electron affinity
Correct answer
C
Low ionisation potential
D
Smaller atomic size

Solution

Low ionisation energy means that electron can be easily lost and cation formation is easier.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
