Question

There is a element X with atomic number 16. Which of the following statements regarding the element is true?
Options:
A. It accepts electrons.
B. It donates electrons.
C. It already in its stable configuration.
D. The element is phosphorus.

Solution

Sulphur is the element with the atomic number 16, so d is incorrect .

Electronic Configuration of sulphor is K=2 L=8 M =6. So it don't have a stable octect structure. So option C is incorrect.

So,inorder to attain stable electronic configuration it must accept two electrons
So option A It accepts electrons is correct
