The element with Z = 120 (not yet discovered) will be a/an
Options
- Atransition metal.
- Balkaline earth metal.
- Calkali metal.
- Dinner-transition metal.
Correct answer
B. alkaline earth metal.
Step-by-step solution
Og 118 8 s 2 is the configuration for Z = 120 . Since the differentiating electron is entering in the s - orbital, the element will belong to the s-block and the outermost s-orbital is having two electrons. Hence, It will belong to the alkaline earth metal group.
