Let us see below the electronic configuration of elements and their group.

1s22s22p63s1Na(Z=11);Group 1A

1s22s22p5F(Z=9); Group VIIA

1s22s22p6Ne(Z=10);Group VIIIA

1s22s22p63s23p2Si(Z=14);group IVA

In the periodic table, IA group elements have lowest first ionization (I.E) values. Because the single valence electron is less strongly attracted by the nucleus force.
