उत्तर
The amount of energy required to remove an electron from the outermost shell of an isolated gaseous atom in its ground state is said to be ionisation enthalpy.
The factors that affect ionization enthalpy of the elements are as follows:
a. Effective nuclear charge with its increase the ionization enthalpy also increases
b. Atomic size with its increase the ionization enthalpy decreases
c. The \[\ce{e- - e-}\] repulsion with its increase the ionization enthalpy decreases
d. Whenever there exists half-filled or completely filled orbital than it lead to increase the ionization enthalpy because it leads to give extra stability to the atom due to symmetry
The ionization enthalpy decreases down the group and increases across the period.

Assertion (A): Generally, ionisation enthalpy increases from left to right in a period.
