Expert Solution
Step 1

Ionization energy is the amount of energy required by a gaseous atom, which is present in its ground state, to release one electron.

 

The ionization energy increases along the period from left to right due to a decrease in atomic size and decrease in effective nuclear charge.

The ionization energy decreases down the group due to an increase in atomic size and decrease in effective nuclear charge.
