The electronic configuration of four elements are given below. Which elements does not belong to the same family as others? (a) [Xe]4f145d101s2 (b) [Kr]4d105s2 (c) [Ne]3s23p5 (d) [Ar]3d104s2

Answer»

The correct option is : (c) [Ne]3s23p5

Explanation: 

Elements (a), (b) and (d) belong to the same group since each one of them has two electrons in valence shell. In contrast, element (c) has seven electrons in the valence shell, and hence it lies in other group.
