    An atom has electronic configuration\[1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{3}},4{{s}^{2}}\]. You will place it in

    A)  fifth group     

    B)  fifteenth group

    C)  second group   

    D)  third group

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    An atom has electronic configuration                 \[1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{3}},4{{s}^{2}}\] It is a member of d-block element because the last electron is filled in d-subshell as \[3{{d}^{3}}\] and the following electronic configuration is possible for d-subshell as (n - 1)d-subshell Group No. IIIB IVB VB VIB VIIB. VIII VIII VIII IB IIB     (13) (14) (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) (20)         (21) (22) \[n{{s}^{2}}(n-1){{s}^{2}}{{p}^{6}}{{d}^{1}}\,{{d}^{2}}\,\,\,{{d}^{3}}\,\,{{d}^{5}}\,{{d}^{6}}\,{{d}^{7}}\,{{d}^{8}}\,{{d}^{9}}\,{{d}^{10}}\] Hence, it is a member of fifth group.
