A space probe identifies a new element in a sample collected from an asteroid. Successive ionization energies (in attojoules per atom) for the new element are l1 = 0.507, l2 = 1.017, l3 = 4.108, l4 = 5.074, l5 = 6.147 l6 = 7.903, l7 = 8.294. To what family of the periodic table does this new element probably belong and why
