Statement I : In IIIA group ionization enthalpy do not decrease smoothly down the group.
Statement II : In the heavier elements of IIIA group the ‘d’ and ‘f ’ electrons have poor shielding effect.

detailed solution

Correct option is A

I.E.Order: B >Tl >Ga > Al > InAtomic radius order :Tl~In >Al > Ga > B                           OR                         B < Ga < Al < In ~ Tl Ionisation energy order of IIIA group elements is,B >Tl >Ga > Al > InOn moving down the group ,the ionisation energy decreases,this is true for B and Al.The ionisation energy of Ga is unexpectedly higher than that of Al.This is due to poor shielding effect by completely filled d-orbitals in the inner shell of Ga,hence the Ga valency electrons are  strongly held by nucleus therefore removal of electron from Ga is highly difficult compared to Al .A similar increase is observed from In to Tl due to presence of 14 f-orbital electrons in the inner shell of Tl which have poor shielding effect .
