MCQ
The ionization energies from $\ce{Ga}$ to $\ce{Tl}$ do not decrease due to :
  • A
    Shielding effect
  • Improper shielding effect.
  • C
    Increase in the atomic size.
  • D
    Decrease in the nuclear charge.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Improper shielding effect.
Due to poor shielding effect of $d$ and $f$ orbitals, which balances the effect of increase in nuclear charge down the group, resulting in unevenness in the trend.
