a. Write the subshell electronic configuration of the element.
b. Write the period number,
c. What will be the chemical formula of the compound formed if the element X reacts with element Y of the third period which contains one electron in the p subshell?
Answer:
a. Three shells are K, L, M. The subshells are 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 3d

Question 4.
Find out atomic number, group, block period using subshell electronic configuration and then complete the table.
Question 5.
Write down the characteristics of s,d,p, f block elements
Answer:
s-block elements:
Elements in which last electron enters into s-subshell are called s-block elements. It contains group I elements (Alkali metals) and group II elements (Alkaline earth metals).
1st group elements lose one electron during chemical combination. Therefore its oxidation state is +1.
2nd group elements lose two electrons from valence shell during chemical combination and their oxidation state is +2.
The highest shell number in a sub-shell electronic configuration is the period number of that element.
1. Group number characteristics = no.of electrons in valence sub-shell.
2. s block ionization energy & electro negativity decreases downwards.
3. Metallic character & reactivity increases downwards.
4. Lose electrons during chemical combination j and they form ionic compounds.
Their oxides and hydroxides are basic.
Their atomic radii are high in a period.
p-block elements:
- Last electron enters into p-subshell.
- Group 13 -18 elements.
- Highly reactive elements are non-metals – group 17,
- These are elements with positive and negative oxidation state.
Group number of p-block elements = electrons in last p-subshell + 12
d-block elements:
- Last electron enters into penultimate d-subshell
- Known as transition elements.
- Metals
- Shows similarity in group and period.
- Variable oxidation states.
- Form coloured compounds.
Group = electrons in ‘d’-subshdl + electrons in s-subshell.
f-block elements:
- Last electron enters into antepenultimate f sub-shell.
- Contains Lanthanoids and Actinoids.
- Variable oxidation state.
- Most of the Actinoids are radioactive.
- Most of the elements are artificial.
- U, Th, Pu are used in nuclear reactors.
- Some elements are used as catalyst in pet-roleum industry.

Find the wrong electronic configurations from the following. What is wrong in these?
a. 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p6,3d9,4s2
b. 1s2
c. 1s2, 2s1, 2p6
d. 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p2
Answer:
(a) and (c) are wrong electronic con figurations.

Write the reason for the statement given
below.
a. d-block elements in the same period show similarity.
b. Transition elements show variable oxidation state.
Answer:
a. Valence shell electrons of d-block elements in same periods are almost same. Valence shell electrons are entering in chemical reaction. Therefore they shows similarity.
b. Energy of electrons in s-subshell and inner d- subshells are almost same. Therefore s- electrons or s and d electrons take part in chemical reaction and show variable oxidation state.
