Which of the following is a favourable factor for cation formation?
Options
- AHigh electronegativity
- BHigh electron affinity
- CLow ionisation potential
- DSmaller atomic size
Correct answer
C. Low ionisation potential
Step-by-step solution
Low ionisation energy means that electron can be easily lost and cation formation is easier.
