a. For a graph of third ionization energy against atomic number, predict the positions of peaks and valleys for elements through atomic number 12. Compare the positions of these peaks and valleys with those for first ionization energies shown in Figure 2.13 .

b. How would a graph of third ionization energies against the number of electrons in reactant compare with the other graphs shown in Figure 2.14 ? Explain briefly.
