Question

The element $Z=114$ has been discovered recently. It will belong to which of the following family groups and electronic configuration?

• A. Halogen family, $\left[Rn\right]5f^{1}46d^{1}07s^{2}7p^5$
• B. Carbon family, $\left[Rn\right]5f^{1}46d^{1}07s^{2}7p^2$
• C. Oxygen family, $\left[Rn\right]5f^{1}46d^{1}07s^{2}7p^4$
• D. Nitrogen family, $\left[Rn\right]5f^{1}46d^{1}07s^{2}7p^6$

Answer 1

The correct option is B Carbon family, $\left[Rn\right]5f^{1}46d^{1}07s^{2}7p^2$

$Z=114$ $\left(Flerovium\right)$ belongs to the carbon family (Group 14).
The electronic configuration of the element is $\left[Rn\right]5f^{14}6d^{10}7s^{2}7p^2$
