6.82 A particular element has the following values for its first four ionization energies: 900, 1760, 14, 850, and 21,000 kJ/mol. Without consulting a list of ionization energy values, determine what group in the periodic table this element belongs in.

Answer the following questions about first ionization energies. (a) Generally ionization energies increase on proceeding across a period, but this is not true for magnesium (738 kJ/mol) and aluminium (578 kJ/mol). Explain this observation. (b) Explain why the ionization energy of phosphorus (1012 kJ/mol) is greater than that of sulphur (1000 kJ/mol) when the general trend in ionization energies in a period would predict the opposite.
r Questions 11—13, you will need to consider ionizations beyond the first ionization energy. For example, the second ionization energy is the energy to remove a second electron from an element.
