The element with atomic number 25 belongs to which group?
Group 7
Group 4
Group 13
Group 9
The electronic configuration of the elements is
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d5
Since the last electron is entering the d- subshell, the element belongs to the d block.
The highest principle quantum number in which the electron is present is 4, hence the period of the element is 4.
Since the element belongs to the d block, the group number is equal to the sum of the number of electrons in (n-1)d and ns orbitals which is 5 + 2 = 7.
Hence, Opt(A) is correct.
