Detailed Solution

  • On moving down the group from B to Tl, a regular decreasing trend in the I.E. is not observed.
  • In Ga, there are ten d-electrons in the penultimate shell which screen the nuclear charge less effectively and thus, outer electron is held firmly. As a result, the ionization potential of both Al and Ga is nearly the same. 
  • The increase in ionization potential  from In to Tl is due to poor shielding effect of 14f electrons present in the inner shell.
    Thus, the correct order is, B>Al<Ga>In<Tl
