1. Four elements have the following ionization energies in kJ/mol: 762, 709, 579, and 558. The elements, in random order are Ga, Ge, In, and Sn. Which element has an ionization energy of 558 kJ/mol? 762 kJ/mol?

2. The first four ionization energies for aluminum are 578, 1,817, 2,745, and 11,577 kJ/mol. These values represent the formation of the Al¹^+, Al²⁺, Al³⁺, and Al⁴⁺ ions respectivly. Suggest a reason for the comparatively high fourth ionization energy of aluminum. Use your periodic table.

3. Suggest a reason why iodine likes to form negative ions as opposed to positive ones.
