Answer:

it is because if lanthanoide contraction .... there is a poor shielding effect in radium so its electons are bound to the nucleus very strongly then in barium and therfor its ionisation energy is higher than barium.....

A radium nucleus has 32 more protons than a barium nucleus (57% more), so its attractive force on any of its electrons is correspondingly greater. This increases the amount of energy needed for ionisation. ... This increases the amount of energy needed for ionization.
