P Block elements -

P block elements comprise those belonging to group 13 to 18  and together with the  S block elements are called the main group elements.Outer most configuration varies from  ns2 np1  to  ns2np6 in each period.

The element with atomic number is phosphorus.

P=1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{3}

Thus, its Group number =15 or VA

valence electrons = 5

valency = 3

\therefore Option (1) is correct

 


Option 1)

15,5 and 3

Option 2)

16,6 and 3

Option 3)

16,5 and 2

Option 4)
