How does ionization energy vary along a group as well as along a period?

Ionization energies decrease DOWN a Group, but increase across a PERIOD (from left to right). ... On the other hand, down a Group, the increased nuclear charge is effectively shielded by the filled electronic shells. Nucleus/valence electron attraction becomes attenuated, and ionization energies decrease.
