    What should be the atomic number of the next halogen if discovered in future?

    A) 115

    B) 119   

    C) 117

    D) 121

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] The next halogen will have \[\text{7}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\text{7}{{\text{p}}^{\text{5}}}\] outer configuration. Since, the filling of 7p-orbitals will begin after 5f and 6d-orbitals, thus the atomic number of the new halogen will be 112 (up to the filling of 6d-orbitals) plus 5, i.e. 117.
