The first four ionization energy values of an element are $191$,$578$,$872$ and $5962 \ kcal$. The number of valence electrons in the element is

The successive ionisation energies (starting from the $1^{st}$) of an element are $801$,$2430$,$3660$,$25000$,and $32800 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,respectively. The element is:

Assertion $(A)$: Boron has a smaller first ionisation enthalpy than beryllium.
Reason $(R)$: The penetration of a $2s$-electron to the nucleus is more than the $2p$-electron; hence,the $2p$-electron is more shielded by the inner core of electrons than $2s$-electrons.
