Statement-1 : The ionisation energy of is greater than that of ' In '.

Statement-2 : The effect of  lanthanide contraction observed  in Tℓ.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Statement-1 is true. Due to lanthanide contraction, the effective nuclear charge on Tl is higher than In, making it harder to remove an electron. Statement-2 is true and correctly explains Statement-1. Lanthanide contraction significantly increases the ionization energy of Tl.
