Q. Which among the following elements have lowest value of $I E_{1} ?$

Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

Solution:

Ionisation energy of carbon group follows the order :

$C > Si > Ge > Sn < Pb$

$I E_{ Pb }>I E_{ Sn }$ because of poor shielding effect of $d \& f-$ electrons.
