As we descend, the group size grows and the nuclear charge on the electrons becomes less effective. Ionization potential falls off in the group as a result. Ca therefore has a higher second ionization potential than Ba.

K has a higher second ionization potential than Ca because, after losing one electron, it adopts a stable noble gas structure.
