Detailed Solution

  • In the noble gases group, going down the group the ionization energy decreases. The ionization energy of helium is greater than that of neon. 

We know, the I.E of neon =2080.7KJ/ mole. From the given option the I.E of helium = 2372.3KJ/ mole (because the I.E of helium is more than neon and from the given options, 2372.3Kj/mol value is >2080.7Kj/mol ).
