Why are the ionisation energies of 5d elements greater than 3d elements?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the 5d series, after lanthanum `( Z= 57)` , there is langthanoid contraction.In each group, the sizeof 5d element is smaller while nuclear charge is greater than 3d element. Hence, ionization energies of 5 d elements are greater than 3d elements.
