Ionisation enthalpy (
) for the elements of group 13 follows the order:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
The decrease in ionization enthalpy from B to Al is associated with increase in size. On
moving from Al to Ga , the ionisation enthalpy increases slightly, because on moving from Al to Ga , both nuclear charge and shielding effect. increase but due to poor shielding of d-electron in Ga , effective nuclear charge on valence electron increases resulting in
-block contraction, that's why ionisation enthalpies increase. On moving from Ga to In , again there is slight decrease in ionisation enthalpies due to increased shielding effect by additional ten
electrons, which outweighs the effect of increased nuclear charge. On moving from In to Tl , ionisation enthalpies show the increase again because fourteen
electrons shield valence electron poorly (order of shielding effect
) and so, effective nuclear charge increases, consequently ionisation enthalpies increase.
