Question

Which among the following elements have lowest value of I E subscript 1 end subscript

  1. (a) Pb  
  2. Sn  
  3. (c) Si  
  4. C  

The correct answer is: Sn


    The ionisation energy of tin {Sn} is less than that of lead (Pb). It is due to the poor shielding of d- and f-electron in Pb due to which it feels greater attraction from nucleus.
