The ionization energies for a hypothetical element are listed below. Based on these ionization energies, identify which group the element would be from on the Periodic Table.

IE₁ (kJ/mol)	IE₂ (kJ/mol)	IE₃ (kJ/mol)	IE₄ (kJ/mol)	IE₅ (kJ/mol)	IE₆ (kJ/mol)
600	1200	7300	9580	12,600	14,640

Solutions

Expert Solution

According to the given trend of ionization energies the first 2 electrons are removed easily with less expenditure of energy which means that this element has 2 valence electrons.

Third and successive electrons requires enormous amount of ionization energies which means that these electrons are removed from very stable noble gas configuration.

This element has 2 valence electrons and it must belong to group 2 of the periodic table.

Answer -- Group 2
