ii. $[\operatorname{Ar}] 4 s^2, 3 d^{10}, 4 p ^1$
iii. $[ Xe ] 6 s^2$
iv. $[ Xe ] 6 s^2, 5 d^1, 4 f ^7$
v. $[ Ar ] 4 s^1, 3 d^{10}$ (exception to rules)

Answer

The outer electronic configuration of $1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^5$ is $2s^2, 2p^5$. Therefore, this element is a p-block element and belongs to the second period and group $17$. Thus, the element is fluorine, F.
The outer electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^2, 3d^{10}, 4p^1$ is $4s^2 4p^1$, therefore, it is a p-block element. It belongs to the fourth period and $13$ group. Therefore, the element is gallium, Ga.
The outer electronic configuration of $[Xe]6s^2$ is $6s^2$, therefore, it is a s-block element and belongs to the sixth period and group $2$ of the periodic table.

Therefore, the element is barium, Ba.

In the electronic configuration $[Xe]6s^2, 5d^1, 4f^7$ the electrons are in 4f shell, therefore, it is a f-block element and belongs to the sixth period and third group therefore, the element is gadolinium, Gd.
The outer electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^1, 3d^{10} is 4s^1, 3d^{10},$ therefore, it is a d-block element and belongs to the fourth period and group $11$. Therefore, the element is copper, Cu.

Three students, Manish, Ramesh and Rajni were determining the extra elements present in an organic compound given by their teacher. They prepared the Lassaigne’s extract (L.E.) independently by the fusion of the compound with sodium metal. Then they added solid $\mathrm{FeSO}_4$ and dilute sulphuric acid to a part of Lassaigne’s extract. Manish and Rajni obtained prussian blue colour but Ramesh got red colour. Ramesh repeated the test with the same Lassaigne’s extract, but again got red colour only. They were surprised and went to their teacher and told him about their observation. Teacher asked them to think over the reason for this. Can you help them by giving the reason for this observation. Also, write the chemical equations to explain the formation of compounds of different colours.
