Why does F have a larger first ionization energy than O?

First ionization energy increases as u move from left to right,so oxygen comes first than florine which means when u pass oxygen to florine the ionization energy become more than it was in oxygen.

Use ionization energy to explain why metals lose electrons more easily than nonmetals?

Metals lose electrons more easily than the non-metals because they require less ionization energy compared with the non-metals. The metals require less ionization energy to lose the electrons than though gain the electrons unlike the non-metals.
