Which of the following represents the electronic configuration of the electropositive element ?

A

`[He]2s^(1)`

B

`[Xe]6s^(1)`

C

`[He]2s^(2)`

D

`[Xe]6s^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Group `1` elements with `ns^(1)` configuration are more electropositive `(EP)` than group `2(ns^(2))` configuration. Moreover, `EP` character increases down the group `1 (darr)`.
So, `Cr(6s^(1))` is the most `EP` element.
