False. Atoms with low ionization energy do not tightly hold their electrons. Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion in its gaseous state. When an atom has a low ionization energy, it means that it requires less energy to remove an electron because the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons is weaker.
