Why is there not a corresponding drop in ionization energies between Bi and Po in the sixth period as N and O?

Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to the Journal of Chemical Education, Volume 80, No.8 (2003); "The first ionization energy of bismuth appears to be  anomalous......It has been claimed that spin– orbit coupling by the Russell–Saunders scheme would lower  the ground state of Bi+ ..."

However, the involvement of  d and f orbitals in Bi and Po implies that the outermost orbitals are poorly screened hence the drop between nitrogen and oxygen is not observed between Bi and Po.

The same argument could be extended to explain the reason why  there not a corresponding drop between Ba and Tl is the sixth period even though they are in the same group as Be and B.
