The positive charge in the core stays the same, if you remove electrons the interaction between the core and your electrons increases, due to lower shielding, lower Pauli repulsion,and so on, which lowers the energy of those electrons. This directly converts to smaller orbitals and higher ionization energy. share | improve this answer
