The ionization enthalpy _________ down the group in the family.(a) Increases(b) Decreases(c) Constant(d) Is a regularI have been asked this question during an internship interview.Question is taken from p-Block Elements topic in chapter p-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct choice is (d) Is a regular

The best I can explain: On moving down the group, ionization enthalpy DECREASES from Boron to aluminium, but the next ELEMENT gallium has slightly higher ionization enthalpy than aluminium due to the POOR shielding of intervening d-electrons, it again increases in indium and then decreases in the LAST element THALLIUM.
