A) It is independent of atomic radii
B) It increases with increase in atomic radii
C) It remains constant with increase in atomic radii
D) It decreases with increase in atomic radii
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
We know that ionisation potential gradually decreases of moving down the group while atomic size increases as we move down the group. Hence larger the atomic size, smaller is ionisation potential.
