Why is ETHANOL's (alcohol) boiling point higher than ETHYLAMINE's (amide) despite the similar size and Mr? 
Both have hydrogen bonding BUT the H bonding in ethanol is STRONGER than in ethylamine as the O-H bond is more POLAR than the N-H bond and has potential for more extensive H bonding. ...

First Ionisation Energy down Group 2 Alkali Metals 
First ionisation energy down Group 2 Alkali Metals goes as follows: 
1) The ionisation energy decreases as you go down the group 
2) This is due to their being extra shielding for the outermost electrons the further down the group you go as well as the further distance between the outer electrons 
3) These two occurrences out weigh the power of the increasing positively charged nucleus as you go...
