There is need for ionization energy for each electron removed.
The smaller the ionization potential, the greater the energy and reactivity.

What does Ionization Potential Measure
Total amount of energy required to free an electron.
Ionization potential trend in the periodic table
Trend of Ionization Potential in Periodic Table.
The first ionization energy varies in a predictable way across the periodic table.
The ionization energy decreases from top to bottom in groups, and increases from left to right across a period.
Thus, helium has the largest first ionization energy, while francium has one of the lowest.
How to Calculate Ionization Potential
Ionization Potential (eV) = 13.6 eV x (Z 2 /n 2).
Z is the atomic number of the atom and n is the orbital number.
This formula can only provide you with an approximate value.
A more precise value can only be obtained from experiments.
Ionization potential and electron affinity
The ionization energy or ionization potential is the energy necessary to remove an electron from the neutral atom.
The electron affinity is a measure of the energy change when an electron is added to a neutral atom to form a negative ion.
Which Element Has Maximum First Ionization Potential
Helium
Which Element Has Lowest First Ionization Potential
Francium

Citation
When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information (Ionization Potential).
That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy and paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. Ionization Potential. Materials Blog. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. URL.
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page. This citation format is based on MLA.
