Expert Solution

The energy requred to remove an electron from the outermost shell of a neutral gaseous atom is known as ionisation energy (Ea). Ionisation energy depends on the follwing factors

(a) Atomic size: Ea decreases with increase in atomic size

(b) Nuclear charge: Ea increases with increase in nuclear charge.

(c) Electronic configuration: Atom with fully filled or exactly half-filled orbitals have higher Ea.

Generally Ea decreases from top to bottom in a group and increases from left to right along a period.

Electronic configuration of the given elements are:

Mn = [Ar] 3d54s2

F = 1s22s22p5

Ne = 1s22s22p6

Cs = [Xe]6s1

Among the elements, Ea of Ne is the highest because of its stable configuration of 2s22p6. Ea of Cs will be the lowest. The order of Ea will be Ne > F > Mn > Cs.
