Specify the group of the periodic table in which each of the following elements is found: (example, Group 6, Group 12, halogens, alkaline earth metals, etc).
a) [Ne] 3s1
b) [He] 2s2 2p1
c)[Ar] 3d5 4s2
a) group 1 alkali metal sodium (Na)
* Atomic number of sodium is11
* Electronic configuration of sodium is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
* Here Ne (noble gas) atomic number is 10, so neon completely filled in s and p orbitals. Now consider [Ne] is 10 electrons filled.
b) group 13 boron family (III A group)
* Atomic number of boron is 5
* Electronic configuration of boron is 1s2 2s2 2p1
* Here note (He) helium atomic number is 2
* Helium completely filled in 1s orbital. Now consider the [He] is 2 electrons filled.
c) group 7 (VIIB) d block element Manganese
* Atomic number of manganese is 25
* Electronic configuration of manganese is [Ar] 3d5 4s2
* Argon atomic number is 18
