Explain why the first ionisation energy of Strontium is less than the first ionisation energy of Calcium

Both of these elements are part of the 2nd group of elements on the periodic table. ie in first ionisation, their electron configuration changes from nS2 -> nS1.

Strontium is a much larger eleme...
