Detailed Solution

  • Ionization energy decreases down the group because the atomic size of the atom increases.
  • If the atomic size increases, the force of attraction between the nucleus and electrons in the outermost orbit decreases as the distance between them increases.
  • Due to this, the outermost electron is held less tightly bonded to the nucleus so less energy is required to remove it. Thus, ionization energy decrease down the group.
