    Elements with low ionization energies.

    Explanation:

    The ionization energy of an atom reffers to the amount of energy that is required to remove an electron from the gaseous form of that atom or ion.

    The greater the ionization energy, the more difficult it is to remove an electron. The ionization energybis one of the indicator that shows the reactivity of an element. Elements with a low ionization energy such as metals are usually reffered to as a reducing agents and form cations, this give metals the tendency to

    give away their valence electrons when bonding, whereas non-metals tend to take electrons.

    Metallic elements have different properties such as shiny, heat and electricity conductivity. They are malleable and ductile Some metals, such as sodium, are soft and can be cut with a knife. while some are very hard such as iron.
