Question

In the long form of the periodic table, the valance shell electronic configuration of $5s^{2}5p^4$ corresponds to the element present in :

• A. Group 16 and period 6
• B. Group 17 and period 6
• C. Group 16 and period 5
• D. Group 17 and period 5

Answer 1

The correct option is C Group 16 and period 5

In the long form of the periodic table, the valance shell electronic configuration of $5s^{2}5p^4$ corresponds to the element present in Group 16 and period 5.
The principal quantum number of 5 corresponds to fifth period. 6 valence electrons corresponds to group 16.
The element is Te.
