Element Atomic number
A 5
B 7
C 10

(i) Which element belongs to group 18?
(ii) Which element belongs to group 15?
(iii) Which element belongs to group 13?
(iv) To which period/periods do these elements belong?

Solution

(i) Element C belongs to group 18.
Electronic configuration of element C (10) = 2,8
Therefore, group number = valence shell + 10
= 8+10 = 18.

(ii) Element B belongs to group 15.
Electronic configuration of element B (15) = 2,8,5
Therefore, group number = valence shell + 10
= 5+10 = 15.

(iii) Element A belongs to group 13.
Electronic configuration of element A (5) = 2,3
Therefore, group number = valence shell + 10
= 3+10 = 13.


(iv) The elements A, B and C all belong to period 2 because all three have the same valence shell, i.e, L.
