Which statement best describes the relative first ionization energies of Ca and Mg?

• Calcium has a higher first ionization energy than magnesium because its radius is smaller.

• Magnesium has a higher first ionization energy than calcium because its radius is smaller.

• Calcium has a higher first ionization energy than magnesium because its highest occupied energy sub-level is full.

• Magnesium has a higher first ionization energy than calcium because its highest occupied energy sub-level is full.

• Calcium and magnesium will have the same first ionization energy because they have the same number of valence electrons.

Which statement best describes the relative first ionization energies of Be and B?

• Beryllium has a higher first ionization energy than boron because its radius is smaller because it has fewer valence electrons than boron.

• Boron has a higher first ionization energy than beryllium because its radius is smaller and its valence electrons are closer to the nucleus.

• Beryllium has a higher first ionization energy than boron because its highest occupied energy level is full.

• Boron has a higher first ionization energy than beryllium because its highest occupied energy level is full.

• They will have the same first ionization energy because boron only has one extra valence electron.
