Detailed Solution

The ionisation energies provide an indication about the number of valence electrons in an atom.
For example, Na has lE2 >> lE1 because it has one valence electron, while Mg has IE3 >> lE2 > lE1,
because it has two valence electrons'
In this case X has lE5 >> lE4 > lE3 > lE2 > lE1
Therefore it has four valence electrons.
