Helium.<\/p>\n<p>The ionization potential is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its ground state. The higher the ionization potential, the more difficult it is to remove an electron from the atom.<\/p>\n<p>Helium has the highest ionization potential of all the elements in the periodic table. This is because helium has a very stable electron configuration, with two electrons in its valence shell. The two electrons in helium&#8217;s valence shell are paired, which means that they have opposite spins. This makes it very difficult to remove one of the electrons from the atom, because doing so would require breaking the pair and creating two unpaired electrons.<\/p>\n<p>Oxygen, carbon, and boron all have lower ionization potentials than helium. <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> This is because they have less stable electron configurations than helium.
