20.

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?

a)

The ionization energy drops significantly as you move down a group because the valence electrons are in a shell further from the nucleus.

b)

The ionization energy increases gradually as you move right across a period because the valence electrons are in a shell further from the nucleus.

c)

The ionization energy increases gradually as you move right across a period because you are adding more protons.

d)

The ionization energy increases when the valence electrons are more attracted to the nucleus.
