Why does ionisation energy of alkali met...

Why does ionisation energy of alkali metals decreases with the increase in atomic number?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Atomic size increase with increase in atomic number, therefore, nuclear force of attraction between valence electrons and nucleus decreases, hence ionisation energy decreases down the group.
