$U\,\,\, 1s^2 \,2s^2 \,2p^3$
$V\,\,\, 1s^2\,2s^2 \,2p^6 \,3s^1$
$W\,\,\, 1s^2\,2s^2\, 2p^6\,3s^2\,3p^2$
$X\,\,\, 1s^2\,2s^2\,2p^6\,3s^2\,3p^6\,3d^5\, 4s^2$
$Y\,\,\, 1s^2\, 2s^2\,2p^6\,3s^2\,3p^6\,3d^{10}\, 4s^2\, 4p^6$

$(i)$ Element forms a carbonate which is not decomposed by heating
$(ii)$ Element is most likely to form coloured ionic compounds
$(iii)$ Element has largest atomic radius
$(iv)$ Element forms only acidic oxide

  • A
    $V\, W \,Y \,U$
  • $V\, X\, Y\, W$
  • C
    $V\, W\, Y\, X$
  • D
