Best answer

The decrease in ionization enthalpies down any group is because of the other following factors:

(i) There is an increase in the number of the main energy shells (n) in moving from one element to the other

(ii) There is also an increase in the magnitude of the screening effect due to the gradual increase in the number of inner electrons.
