Based on the data table above, which of the following statements correctly predicts the relative strength of attraction of Zn +2, Ca +2, Ba +2 for the same negatively charged ion? (1) Zn, Ca, Ba because the smaller ions have a stronger coulombic attraction for the negatively charged ion.
(2) Zn, Ca, Ba because the smaller ions are more electronegative.
(3) Ba, Ca, Zn because the larger ions are more polarizable.
(4) Ba, Ca, Zn because the larger ions are less electronegative.
