To what family of the periodic table does this new element probably belong?

A space probe has identified a new element from a sample collected from an asteroid. The successive ionization energies (in attojoules per atom) for this new element are as follows:
i1 0.507
i2 1.017
i3 4.108
i4 5.074
i5 6.147
i6 7.903
i7 8.294

Based on these ionization energies, to which family of the periodic table is this new element most likely to belong?
1 (1A)
2 (2A)
13 (3A)
14 (4A)
15 (5A)
16 (6A)
17 (7A)
18 (8A)

2 (2A) There is a fairly large jump after the second ionization.
