Select the correct statements about factors affecting ionisation enthalpy.

  1. AAt the same nuclear charge, more inner-shell shielding lowers the ionisation enthalpy
  2. BAt constant shielding, a larger effective nuclear charge raises the ionisation enthalpy
  3. C (906) has a lower first ionisation enthalpy than ()
  4. D (589) has a higher first ionisation enthalpy than () because of poor shielding by inner and electrons

Answer: A, B, D

The first two statements follow from Zeff = Z - shielding. Tl follows the lanthanide contraction effect. Zn () has a higher value (906) than Cu (745), so the last is false.
