Hello!

On the periodic table, as we go down the periodic table, the ionization energy decreases, but as we go across the periodic table (left to right), the ionization increases.

On the periodic table, lithium (Li) is located in column one, beryllium (Be) is located in column two, and (B) boron is located in column 13. As stated above, when we go across the periodic table (left to right), the ionization increases.

Therefore, the element with the highest ionization energy is Boron, or symbol B on the period table.
