Among the elements from atomic number ( 1 ) to ( 36 ),the number of elements which have an unpaired electron in their s-subshell is
Options
- A( 7 )
- B( 09 )
- C( 04 )
- D( 06 )
Correct answer
D. ( 06 )
Step-by-step solution
Between atomic number ( 1 ) to ( 36 ) only ( 3 ) alkali metals, hydrogen atom and ( 2 ) d-block elements (i.e., to make most stable electronic configuration) appears which have an unpaired electron in their s-subshell. Therefore, total ( 6 ) elements, that is, ( H , Li , Na , K , Cr ) and ( Cu ) between atomic number ( 1 ) to ( 36 ) appears.
