The correct option is False

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the minimum amount of energy required to remove a valence electron from one mole of an atom in it's gaseous state. Ionization energy requires the removal of an electron from a gaseous atom. The definition in the question is that of electronegativity.

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond.
