    An element belongs to group 15 and third period of the Periodic Table. Its electronic configuration will be

    A)  \[1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{3}}\]                            

    B)  \[1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{4}}\]

    C)  \[1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{3}}\]

    D)  \[1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     General    valence    shell    electronic configuration of group 15 elements is \[n{{s}^{2}}n{{p}^{3}}\]and for third period \[n=3.\]Thus, with electronic configuration\[1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{3}},\] the element is phosphorus.
