HIGHER IONIZATION ENERGIES
Which has the larger fifth ionization energy, Ge or As?
STRATEGY
Look at their positions in the periodic table. The group 4A element germanium has four valence-shell electrons and thus has four relatively low ionization energies, whereas the group 5A element arsenic has five valence-shell electrons and has five low ionization energies.
Germanium has a larger E_{i5} than arsenic.
