Explain the trend in first ionization energy down group 2. (3 marks)
The trend in first ionisation energy down a group: DECREASES due to:- Increase in atomic radius as there are more shells- Increased shielding because there is more electron repulsion from inner shells- This results in a decrease in nuclear attraction on the outer electrons because the increased shielding outweighs the increased nuclear charge
