Question

Taking the example of an element of atomic number 16, explain how the electronic configuration of the atom of
an element relates to its position in the modern periodic table and how valency of an element is calculated on the
basis of its atomic number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The electronic configuration of the element with atomic number 16 is 2,8,6. This indicates that the element belongs to group 16 and period 3 as the number of valence shell is 3 and valence electrons is 6.
