Solution

An element with electronic configuration 2,8,6 that is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p4.
Its atomic number is 2+8+6 = 16. Then the element should be sulphur ‘S’.
This element has 6 valence electrons; hence it should be from group 16.
Its period equals to the no. of shells element has, which is 3.

Hence sulphur ‘S’ is the element with electronic configuration 2,8,6 whose position is III period and 16^th group in the periodic table.
