can anyone explain this to me please:
one book says that K+ has higher ionization than Cli-, since K+ has a higher atomic number 19. In another book when comparing Na+, Ar, Kr, they said Na+ has a higher ionization energy since it is smaller. So im comfused, i thought the higher the atomic number the harder to ionize??
