given mass no. = 35
no. of neutrons = 18
therefore no. of protons = atomic no. = 35-18 = 17
so the element X has atomic no. 17
so its group no. is 17 and period is 3

tasneemprzd10: how do we get to know the period
ampamaria2010p5kn54: IT is the number of shells
tasneemprzd10: so how do we get to know tat it has 3 shells
ampamaria2010p5kn54: by the electronic configuration
tasneemprzd10: plzz explain it I m very poor at tat
ampamaria2010p5kn54: no worries. see, they have given that mass number is 35 and number of neutrons is 18. we know that mass number= sum of neutrons + protons. so we find proton by subtracting 35-18 =17 . so 17 is the atomic number of element X. now we need to find its electronic configuration . for that we distribute the electrons into K,L,M shells. hence we get the electric configuration as 2,8,7
tasneemprzd10: k tq but how does it show tat it belongs to the third period
ampamaria2010p5kn54: because it has three shells. that determines that it belongs to period 3
tasneemprzd10: k k I get I now

Number of protons= 35-18=17
The atom is chlorine 
Electronic configuration- 2,8,7
group number- 17
period-3
