Question -The IP1,IP2,IP3,IP4,IP5 of an element are 7.1, 14.3, 34.5, 46.8, 162.2 eV respectively. Which element among the following would that be?
Options:
A .  Na
B .  Si
C .  F
D .  Ca
Answer: Option B : B Among the Ionization Potentials given there is a huge jump from IP4to IP5, which shows that element attains stable inert gas configuration after losing 4 electrons. It should be an element from 14thgroup (IVA). Among the given elements, the answer will be Si.
