The removal of 7th electron from an element of Group VI of the periodic table needs three times more energy than?

Answer: 6th electron
Explanation
  • The removal of the 7th electron from an element of Group VI of the periodic table needs three times more energy than the removal of the 6th electron.
  • This is because the ionization energy increases as you remove more electrons from an atom, and this is due to the fact that the electrons that are left behind are more strongly attracted to the positive nucleus.
