4 The first five ionization energies of an element, Z, are:
  790, 1600, 3200, 4400, 16100 kJ mol–1
  In which group of the Periodic Table is Z found?
           A 2
           B 3
           C 4
           D 5


Answer is C 4.
How can you tell?

u can see in the question dat are 3 jumps
from 790 to1600
1600 to 3200
4400 to 16100
which means it has 4 shells (as one jump means that nxt electron is from another shell closer to the nucleus)
so group 4
do u get it?

Yes cuz after the 4th ionization energy there is a huge jump-the 5th ionization energy corresponds to the 5th electron.Since there is a such a huge gap between 4th and 5th it implies that all the 5th electron removed was from another shell. Group IV elements have 4 electrons on their last shell so it is Group IV

jus do the latest papers, they ll give u the general trend of how the questions are asked and check the corresponding mark schemes to noe how the questions should b answered. :)
live life like you'll never die but don't die like you never lived but then again its a saying n i don't believe in saying much so jus forget it . . .
