Why there is a sudden jump for the third ionisation energy for Be atom?

• Proton number is increasing

• Distance of electron is getting further away from the nucleus

• Electron removed is getting closer to the nucleus

• Shielding effect from the inner electron shells/orbital

After 3p orbital has been filled with electron, why the electron is added to the 4s orbital instead of 3d orbital?

• difference in shape of orbital

• the first ionisation is increasing across the period

• the first ionisation is decreasing going down the group

• due to orbital energy level
