Question

An element has atomic number 14. To which group and period does it belong to?
​

Answer 1

The atomic number of the element is 14 so its electronic configuration is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p2. Since the last electron enters in 3p orbital so it belongs to third period andgroup number 14 of the periodic table.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The atomic number of the element is 14 so its electronic configuration is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p2. Since the last electron enters in 3p orbital so it belongs to third period and group number 14 of the periodic table.
