QUESTION:
Specify the group of the periodic table in which each of the following elements is found: (a) [Ne]3s 1 , (b) [Ne]3s 2 3p3 , (c) [Ne]3s 2 3p6 , (d) [Ar]4s 2 3d8
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
If the element belongs to s-block, the group number is same as the number of valence electrons.
If the element belongs to p-block, the group number is equal as the number of valence p electrons + 10.
If the element belongs to d-block, the group number is equal to number of electrons in (n-1)dsubshell + number of electrons in ns subshell.
