Element "E" belongs to the period 4 and group 16 of the periodic table. The valence shell electron configuration of the element, which is just above 'E' in the group is
- (A)✓ Correct
- (B)
- (C)
- (D)
Answer: (A)
Solution
Element E is in period 4, group 16, so it is Selenium (Se) with electronic configuration .
The element just above E in group 16 is in period 3, which is Sulfur (S). Its electronic configuration is .
The valence shell configuration is therefore .
The element just above E in group 16 is in period 3, which is Sulfur (S). Its electronic configuration is .
The valence shell configuration is therefore .
