MCQ
$IP$ values of $\text{Sc, Y}$ and $La$ are in the order:
  • $\text{Sc > Y > La}$
  • B
    $\text{Sc < Y < La}$
  • C
    $\text{Sc = Y = La}$
  • D
    $\text{La > Sc > Y}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\text{Sc > Y > La}$
$IP$ values of $\text{Sc, Y}$ and $La$ are in the order $\text{Sc > Y > La}$ On moving down the group, the $IP$ values decreases as the effective nuclear charge decreases due to poor shielding by inner electrons.
