Answer:

D

Explanation:

Metallic character decreases as you move across a period in the periodic table from left to right. This occurs as atoms more readily accept electrons to fill a valence shell than lose them to remove the unfilled shell. Metallic character increases as you move down an element group in the periodic table. This is because electrons become easier to lose as the atomic radius increases, where there is less attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons because of the increased distance between them.

Use the successive ionization energies for this unknown element to identify the family it belongs to.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: Belongs to the group 2A

Explanation:

As you can see, the first two ionization energies are close and low, meaning that this element ionizates easily.

Not only loses easily the first electron, but the second too

To remove the third electron you requiered a huge amount of energy

Now, elements easily ionizable are the ones from group IA, group 2A and transition metals.

The last ones have mixed characteristics in matter of how many electrons you can remove from them, so they are not a family.

Now the question: group I or group II ?

The elements of group I have low  ionization energies  for the first electron but high energies for the second ones.

Being all that said, the unknown element belongs to the Group 2A
