Boron has lesser ionization enthalpy than Beryllium, because -

1.  It is easier to remove electrons from p - a subshell than a filled s - subshell.
2.  The s-electron can be removed easier than the p-electron.
3.  Ionization enthalpy decreases with an increase in atomic number.
4.  Ionization enthalpy increases along the period.

The first ionization enthalpy values (in kJ mol–1) of group 13 elements are :

B Al Ga In Tl
801 577 579 558 589

The explanation for the deviation from the general trend can be -

1. Ga has lower ionization enthalpy than Al.

2. Ga has higher ionization enthalpy than Al.

3. Al has higher ionization enthalpy than Ga. 

4. Ga has a lesser valence electron than Al.

The reactivity of alkali metals increases, whereas halogen decreases down the group, because -

1. On moving down, ionization enthalpy decreases in group 1 while the electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative in group 17.
2. On moving down, ionization enthalpy increases in group 1 while the electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative in group 17.
3. On moving down, ionization enthalpy increases in group 1 while the electron gain enthalpy becomes less positive in group 17.
4. On moving down, ionization enthalpy decreases in group 17 while the electron gain enthalpy becomes less negative in group 1.
