Explanation:
Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.
When we move across a period from left to right then there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. Therefore, ionization energy increases along a period.
But when we move from top to bottom in a group then there occurs an increase in size of the atoms. Hence, ionization energy decreases along a group.
(a) As Sb, Sn and I are all period 5 elements. Hence, these elements are arranged in order of increasing as follows.
Sn < Sb < I
(b) As Sr, Ca, and Ba are all elements of group 2a. Hence, these elements are arranged in order of increasing as follows.
Ba < Sr < Ca
