Below are data on the first four ionization energies for a fictitious element X.

First ionization energy = 500 kJ/mol

Second ionization energy = 1000 kJ/mol

Third ionization energy = 3500 kJ/mol

Fourth ionization energy = 4000 kJ/mol

From the data, which of the following statements is CORRECT?

Select one:

a.
The third ionization energy is smaller than the second ionization energy because    The third ionization energy is smaller than the second ionization energy because   
X 3+    has a bigger charge than    X 2+ . X3+   has a bigger charge than    X2+.

b.
X could belong to Group IIA. X could belong to Group IIA.

c.
X could belong to Group IIIB. X could belong to Group IIIB.

d.
X could belong to group VA. X could belong to group VA.

e.
The fourth ionization energy is much smaller than the third ionization energy because    
X 3+    consists of a noble-gas core or a pseudo-noble-gas core. X3+   consists of a noble-gas core or a pseudo-noble-gas core.
