Which of the elements in the table below would react more readily with chlorine?

Element

Ionization energy (KJ $mol^{-1} \times 10^{-3}$ )

W 12.0

X 21.0

Y 106.0

Z 200.0

Y and Z only

X and Z only

W and X only

W and Z only

Correct answer is C

Among the given elements, W has the lowest ionization energy ( $12.0 KJ mol^{-1} x 10^{-3})$ , indicating that it would be more likely to react with chlorine. X has a higher ionization energy $(21.0 KJ mol^{-1} x 10^{-3})$ , so it would be less reactive with chlorine compared to W.
Based on ionization energy values, the elements that would react more readily with chlorine are W and X.
