Options
- AA-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
- BA-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
- CA-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
- DA-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
Correct answer
D. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
Step-by-step solution
A. [ He ] 2 s ^2 2 p ^6 : The valence shell is completely filled ( n s ^2 n p ^6 ). It is a noble gas (IV). B. [ Ar ] 3 d ^8 4 s ^2 : The last electron enters the 3 d subshell. Elements with incompletely filled d-orbitals are transition elements (I). C. [ Rn ] 5 f ^7 6 d ^1 7 s ^2 : The last electron enters the 5 f subshell. These are inner transition elements (II). D. [ Ne ] 3 s ^2 3 p ^1 : The last electron enters the 3 p subshell. The s and p-block elements are known as representative elements (III). Therefore,
