- The elements having high value of ionization potential have low reactivity like inert gases.
- The value of ionization potential decreases on going from top to bottom in a group which suggest that the reactivity increases.
- The elements having low value of ionization potential readily lose electron and thus behave as strong reducing agent and exhibit greater metallic property.
- The elements having low value of ionization potential readily loose electron and thus oxide and hydroxide of these elements have basic property.
