Answer:

ionization enthalpy is inversely proportional to size of atom

as we move along the period ionization energy increases because size decreases.

alkali metals have big size so it is easy to reject an electron from alkali metals so it's ionization energy is less and they are also situated on the left side of the periodic table.
