The element Z=114 has been discovered recently. It will belong to which of the fallowing family/group and electronic configuration-

Options

A. carbon family, `[Rn]5f^(14)6d^(10)7s^(2)7p^(2)`
B. oxygen family, `[Rn]5f^(14)6d^(10)7s^(2)7p^(4)`
C. nitrogen family, `[Rn]5f^(14)6d^(10)7s^(2)7p^(6)`
D. `halogen family, `[Rn]5f^(14)6d^(10)7s^(2)7p^(5)`

Answer

A

Explanation

The electronic configuration of the element having atomic mass 114 is `[Rn]5f^(14)6d^(10)7s^(2)7p^(2)`. The outer electronic conifiguration of the element is same as that of carbon. So the elemennt should belong to the carbon family.
