Copper · Answer 1

C. Sb has a lower ionization energy and a lower electronegativity than I.

Explanation:

The chemical elements present higher ionization energy the higher and to the right of the periodic table they are.

Electronegativity usually increases from left to right over a period of the periodic table and from top to bottom in the groups.
