Which statement is true about an element with the generic valence electron configuration ns²np4? This element is diamagnetic. The ion of this element would be isoelectronic with the noble gas in the preceding period. It has a lower ionization energy than an element with the generic electron configuration ns² when 'n' is the same number. It has a higher electron affinity than an element with the generic electron configuration ns²np² when 'n' is the same number. The element's ionic radius would be smaller than its atomic radius.
