Why is the fifth ionization energy of carbon so much larger than its fourth?
because when ionizing it from 3+ to 4+ it has only a filled orbital which is relatively stable (just as a noble gas). When you want to take away one more electron you do not end up with a filled orbital so this is less stable and will cost much more energy. The sixth ionization energy however should be quite low as well, because after that the carbon ion has no more electrons left which is also a reasonably stable state (compare to H+)
Which of the semi-metals that have their valence electrons in the fouirth energy level has the largest ionizatiuon energy?
Arsenic (As)The semi-metals are Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, and Polonium. The fourth energy level is simply four down the rows. This means the semi-metals that have their fourth energy level are Germanium and Arsenic. Since Arsenic has more electrons in it's outer shell, it will not want to give away electrons as much as Germanium.

What is the structure of santalene?
This is an organic compound in which there are two five carbon rings, but they share three carbon atoms and they have a bond between their fourth's. Just look at the model.
What is the fourth ionization energy of zirconium?
The fourth ionization energy of zirconium is:Zr3+(g)→Zr4+(g)+e−
How many valence electrons does Si have?
Si (silicon) is in the fourth group, has 14 total electrons, and four valence electrons.
What can you predict about carbon and silicon once you know they are in the same group in the periodic table?
Carbon and silicon, of course, Germanium all are in the fourth group. This emphasises that they are tetra valent. They form crystalline structure with covalent bond.
Which has the smaller fourth ionization energy Sn or Sb?
Sn, look at the valence shell 5: 5s^23d^105p^6
