True or False:
1. As the electronegativity of an atom increases, the first ionization energy generally increases.
2. The successive ionization energies (in a hypothetical unit) for an unknown element are IE1 = 200, IE2 = 300, IE3 = 425, IE4 = 2500. The possible identity of this element is B.
3. The first ionization energy of O is larger than the first ionization energy of N.
4. The removal of an electron from a neutral atom results in a release of energy in the form of heat.
