The first ionization energies (I1) for beryllium, magnesium, and calcium are slightly enlarged compared to their positions in the periodic table due to shielding of the 2p electrons by the filled 2s orbital. This causes the 2s electron to spend more time closer to the nucleus than the 2p electron. For oxygen and sulfur, the I1 values are slightly reduced because of extra electron repulsions within the doubly occupied 2p orbital.
