Yes , you can predict the element’s reactivity
Explanation:
The lower the ionization energy of an element , the easier it can give off its electrons.The ease with which it can give off its electrons it's called electropositivity;the more electropositive an element is the more reactive it gets , so , as the ionization energy of an element gets lower , its reactivity increases.
If you want a numerical value , you can use the Mulliken electronegativity (electronegativity is the opposite of electropositivity) :
The measurment unit is
