Answer the question on basis of passage given below :
P block elements are placed in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table. Their valence shell electronic configuration is \(ns^2 np^{1-6}\). Group 16 of the p block elements are known as the group of chalcogens having \(ns^2 np^4\) as their general electronic configuration. They exhibit number of oxidation states but the stability of \(- 2\) oxidation state decreases down the group. They are sometimes also known as group of chalcogens as the name is derived from the Greek word for brass and points to the association of sulphur and its congeners with copper. Their ionisation enthalpy decreases down the group. Oxygen shows anomalous behaviour due to its small size and high electronegativity.
Which one is the correct electronic configuration of sulphur?
- A \([Ne] 3s^2 3p^2\)
- B \([He] 2s^2 2p^4\)
- C \([Ne] 3s^2 3p^4\)
- D \([Ne] 3s^2 3p^6\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \([Ne] 3s^2 3p^4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Sulphur is a Group 16 element (chalcogen) in the 3rd period. Its electronic configuration is \([Ne] 3s^2 3p^4\).

Biomolecules are the organic compounds present as an essential constituents of living organisms in different cells. molecules are generally termed as macromolecules, which are carbohydrates, enzymes, nucleic acids, amino acids and proteins The etc. Carbohydrates are classified as sugars and non-sugars include sucrose, glucose, fructose, starch and cellulose. Enzymes are coordinated with various chemical reactions in nucleic acid. Nucleic acids are found in living organisms made up of proteins and atural polymers. Two types that are generally found in biological systems are DNA and RNA nucleic acid. Amino acids bifunctional groups of carboxyl and amino groups. Proteins are a class of biologically important compounds. They are crucial are to virtually all processes in living systems. Some of them are hormones, which serve as chemical messengers that coordinate certain biochemical activities.

Certain types of leukocytes (WBC) of our body like polymorpho-nuclear leukocytes (PMNL-neutrophils) and monocytes and natural killer (type of lymphocytes) in the blood as well as macrophages in tissues can phagocytose and destroy microbes. For determining the cause of allergy, the patient is exposed to or injected with very small doses of possible allergens, and the reactions studied. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy. Heroin, commonly called smack is chemically diacetylmorphine which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. This is obtained by acetylation of morphine. Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. Different species of Plasmodium (P. vivax, P. malaria and P. falciparum) are responsible for different types of malaria. Of these, malignant malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is the most serious one and can even be fatal.
