where can we place the elements with Z=117 and Z=120 in periodic table
i need complete explanation
Answers
The elements with Z=117 belong to the halogen family (group 17) and the electronic configuration is [Rn]5f146d107p5. The elements with Z=120 will be placed in group 2 (alkaline earth metals) and will have the electronic configuration
Answer: Z = 117
Electronic configuration is
[Rn]5f¹⁴6d¹⁰7s²7p⁵
So, it's period = 7
It's outer most shell ( 7p⁵ ) have 5 electron
Only (group 17)halogen have 5 electron in its outermost shell hence Z=117 belong to group 17 in periodic table .
Similarly , Z= 120
Electronic configuration is
[Og] 8s²
Last electron in 8s² - subshell
so, it's period = 8
And It's outer most shell ( 8s²) have 2 electron , Only( group 2) alkaline earth metal have 2 electron in its outermost shell hence it's
Group = 2
Explanation: you can write full electronic configuration of elements and you can predicte group and period for any higher atomic number .
Hope u understand my answer
Thanks for asking
