Ease of formation of the cation is favoured by (RPMT 2010)

A.lower value of ionisation potential✓ Correct

B.lower value of electron affinity

C.higher value of electron affinity

D.lower value of electronegativity

Explanation

Lower the value of ionisation potential, higher will be the ease of formation of the cation. The minimum amount of energy required to remove an electron from isolated gaseous atom (X) in its ground state is called the ionization enthalpy. i X g X g e , H ve -> Hence, lower value of ionisation enthalpy favours the formation of cation.
