Q

Trends in first ionisation energy

Decrease down a group

A

Nuclear charge increases

Atomic radius increases so outer electron is further from the nucleus

Shielding increases as the number of full inner shells increases

Increase in distance and shielding outweighs the increased nuclear charge

Nuclear attraction on outer electron decreases

First ionisation energy decreases
