Infer group from valence electrons
A successive ionization-energy pattern in a school extension lab indicates \(5\) outer-shell electrons for a main-group element. Predict its main-group number in the simplified model. Use the HL diagram labels before giving the value or explanation. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the chemistry.
