Organizing Periodic Table, Ionization

The graph above shows the ionization energy values as the elements are arranged on the periodic table. Which conclusion cannot be drawn from the graph?

• The ionization energy drops significantly as you move down a group because the valence electrons are in a shell further from the nucleus.
• The ionization energy increases gradually as you move right across a period because the valence electrons are in a shell further from the nucleus.
• The ionization energy increases gradually as you move right across a period because you are adding more protons.
• The ionization energy increases when the valence electrons are more attracted to the nucleus.
