Solution
The correct option is A 3 Given 2,8,7 in this first shell can have 2 electrons where as second shell can have 8 electrons 2 in s orbital and 6 in p orbital.
Hence remaining 7 must be only in third shell as third shell has capacity of 18 electrons. Hence as the valence shell is 3 period is also three.
