MCQ
Atoms of two elements P and Q have 5 electrons in 2nd shell and 3rd shell respectively.  What will be the atomic numbers of these elements?
  • A
    4 : 15
  • B
    5 : 15
  • C
    7 : 13
  • D
    7 : 15

Answer

  1. 7 : 15

Explanation:

P has 5 electrons in the second shell (n = 2), thus the electronic configuration is: 2, 5 and atomic no. = 7

Q has 5 electrons in the third shell (n = 3), thus the electronic configuration is: 2, 8, 5 and atomic no. = 15.
