JEE Main Chemistry question

The IP_1, IP_2, IP_3, IP_4 and of an element are eV respectively. The element is likely to be:

(A)
(B)Correct
(C)
(D)

Answer: (B)

Solution

There is a huge jump between (46.8 eV) and (162.2 eV), meaning the first four electrons come from the outermost (valence) shell while the fifth comes from a much
