Down a group, the number of shells increases, also the atomic size. Thus , the metallic character increase does increase as going DOWN a group. It is easy to remove an electron froman atom of bigger size.

What is the group trend in the first ionization energies and why?

1. The ionization energy decrease down in the group.2. The cause is that the distance between the nucleus and the electron shell increase and the needed energy to extract an electron decrease.


What is the group trend in p-block element?

The p-block elements show a trend in increasing atomic size and decreasing electronegativity as you move down a group. They also exhibit an increase in metallic character and reactivity towards metals, along with a decrease in ionization energy moving down the group.
