Zn atom has higher ionization energy than Ca as it is to the right of Ca in the periodic table.Zn has atomic no of about 30 whereas Ca has only atomic number about 20 .when the atomic no increase the pull from the nucleus increase so atomic radius of Zn is smaller than Ca.so ionization energy is more for Zn as the electrons are more attracted to protons in Zn
