Question
Choose from the following:$_6\text{C}, {_8\text{O}}, _{\text{ 10}}\text{Ne}, _{\text{ 11}}\text{Na}, _{\text{ 14}}\text{Si}$
  1. Elements that should be in the same period.
  2. Elements that should be in the same group.
State reason for your selection in each case.

Answer

Electronic Configuration:
C - 2, 4
O - 2, 6
Ne - 2, 8
Na - 2, 8,1
Si - 2, 8, 4
Elements in which electrons are filled in first 2 shells: C, O and Ne. So these elements lie in the same period.
Elements in which electrons are filled in first 3 shells: Na and Si. So these elements lie in the same period.
Elements with same number of 4 valence electrons: C, Si. So, these elements lie in the same group.
