Question

The atomic numbers of two elements are 8 and 16 respectively. Write the electronic configuration of these two elements. Do you keep these two elements in the same group of the modern periodic table ? Justify your
answer. Find out which of these two elements is more electronegative. Give reason for your answer.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

electronic configuration of these are 1)2,6.2)2,8,6.

atomic number of oxygen is 8 and atomic number of sulphur is 16.hope this will help you... thanks

Answer 2

The element with atomic number 8 is oxygen and 16 is sulphur.

• The electronic configuration of 8 is 2,6.
• The electronic configuration of 16 is 2,8,6.
• Yes, elements 8 and 16 are members of group 16 in the modern periodic table.
• They both belong to the oxygen family.
• The elements 8 and 16 both have 6 valence electrons, so they are placed in the same group.
• Element 8 is more electronegative than 16 due to the double bond character in element 8.
