Question
Assign the position of elements having outer electronic configuration:
  1. ns2 np4 for n = 3
  2. (n - 1)d2 ns2 for n = 4

Answer

  1. ns2 np4 for n = 3

Since n = 3; the element belongs to the third period. Futher, the element belongs to the p-block and group number 16.

  1. (n - 1)d2 ns2 for n = 4, the element belongs to period number 4 and group number 4.
