The new element identified by a space probe belongs to \boxed{{\text{2A}}} family of the periodic table.

Further explanation:

Ionization energy:

The amount of energy that is required to remove the most loosely bound valence electrons from the isolated neutral gaseous atom is known as ionization energy. It is represented by IE. Its value is related to the ease of removing the outermost valence electrons. If these electrons are removed so easily, small ionization energy is required and vice-versa. It is inversely proportional to the size of the atom.

Successive ionization energies are evaluated when the electrons are to be removed from successive shells. When the first electron is removed from the isolated neutral gaseous atom, ionization energy is termed as the first ionization energy \left( {{\text{I}}{{\text{E}}_{\text{1}}}} \right) . Similarly when the second electron is removed from the monoatomic cation, ionization energy is called the second ionization energy \left( {{\text{I}}{{\text{E}}_{\text{2}}}} \right) and so on…

Ionization energy trends in the periodic table:

While moving from left to right in a period, IE increases due to the decrease in the atomic size of the succeeding members. This results in the strong attraction of electrons and hence are difficult to remove.

While moving from top to bottom in a group, IE decreases due to the increase in the atomic size of the succeeding members. This results in the lesser attraction of electrons and hence are easy to remove.

The first ionization energy of the new element is 0.507 and its second ionization energy is 1.017. There is only a small difference in the first and second ionization energies. But when we go from second ionization energy to the third one, there occurs a large difference in the ionization energy of the element. This indicates the removal of two electrons occurs with great ease but third electron is removed with high difficulty. So the new element can easily lose two electrons and therefore it belongs to 2A family of the periodic table.

Ionization energy (IE) is the amount of energy required to remove an electron.

If you observe the IEs sequentially, there is a large gap between the 2nd and 3rd. This suggests it is difficult to remove more than 2 two electrons. Elements that lose two electrons to become more stable are found in the Group 2A (2 representing the number of electrons in the outermost valence shell).

<h3> What is molecular  formula?</h3>

A chemical formula is a way to describe the chemical ratios of the atoms that make up a specific chemical compound or molecule in chemistry. Chemical element symbols, numbers, and occasionally other symbols, such as parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas, and plus (+) and minus () signs, are used to represent the chemical elements. These can only include one typographic line of symbols, which may also include subscripts and superscripts. A chemical formula has no words and is not the same as the chemical name. A chemical formula does not equal a complete chemical structural formula, despite the fact that it may suggest some basic chemical structures. Chemical formulae are often less powerful than chemical names and structural formulae, and they can only fully describe the structure of the simplest molecules and chemical compounds.

How many moles are there in 2.00 x 10^19 molecules of CCl4
HACTEHA [7]

Answer: 0.0000332mol

Explanation: 1mole of CCl4 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

Therefore, X mol of CCl4 will contain 2 x 10^19 molecules i.e

Xmol of CCl4 = 2 x 10^19/ 6.02x10^23 = 0.0000332mol
