An element belongs to Group 15 and third period of the periodic table. Its electonic configuration will be

  1. A \(1 \mathrm{~s}^2 2 \mathrm{~s}^2 2 \mathrm{p}^3\)
  2. B \(1 \mathrm{~s}^2 2 \mathrm{~s}^2 2 \mathrm{p}^4\)
  3. C \(1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 p^3\)
  4. D \(1 \mathrm{~s}^2 2 \mathrm{~s}^2 2 \mathrm{p}^6 3 \mathrm{~s}^2 3 \mathrm{p}^2\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 p^3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints: General valence shell electronic configuration of 15 group elements is \(n s^2 n p^3\). where \(n=\) period number.
