5. The electronic configuration of an element is 2, 8, 4. State its :
(a) group and period in the Modern Periodic Table.
(b) name and write its one physical property........?
Answers
Since the electronic configuration of given element is 2, 8, 4, it’s atomic number is 14 with having 4 valence electrons. Therefore,
(a) It belongs to third period and fourth group of the Modern Periodic Table.
(b) Name of this element is silicon (Si).
Physical properties of silicon: (Any one)
It is solid at room temperature.
It is a non-metal.
It has a very high melting point.
