AP EAMCET2016ChemistryClassification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
An element has [ Ar ] 3 d^1 configuration in its +2 oxidation state. Its position in the periodic table is
Options
- Aperiod-3, group-3
- Bperiod-3, group-7
- Cperiod-4, group-3
- Dperiod-3, group-9
Correct answer
C. period-4, group-3
Step-by-step solution
Electronic configuration of the element in +2 oxidation state is [ Ar ] 3 ~d ^1 . Its electronic configuration in neutral state: [Ar] 3 ~d ^1 4 ~s ^2 Period = Max. principal quantum no. n=4 Group = Total number of valence shell electrons =3
