Explain the variation of first ionization energy in group II elements

Explain the variation of first ionization energy in group II elements

First ionization energy  of group 2 elements down the group down the group due

(i) Increase in atomic sizes that reduces effective nuclear charge on outer electrons.

(ii) increase in the screening effect of the inner electrons which exceeds increase in nuclear charge
