First Ionisation Potentials of Zinc, cadmium and mercury are high.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Zn, Cd and Hg have higher values of Ionisation Potentials due to their Symmetrical and stable electronic configuration i.e. `(n - 1) d^(10) ns^2` i.e. all the occupied orbitals are fully filled. As the result First ionization Potentials of Zinc, Cadmium and Mercury are high.
