The ionization energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron, the valence electron. As the atomic radius decreases, it becomes harder to remove an electron that is closer to a more positively charged nucleus

Ionization energy is the amount of energy needed to remove the outermost electron/weakest bound electron
