The electronic configuration of an element is `1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6),3s^(2)3p^(5)`. The atomic number of element present just below the above element in periodic table is:

Options

A. 33
B. 34
C. 36
D. 49

Answer

A

Explanation

The element which present just below the given element will have outermost electromic configuration as `4s^(2) 4p^(3),` so its full electronic configuration is `1s^(2),2s^(2),2p^(6),3s^(2)3p^(6),4s^(2), 3d^(10), 4p^(3)` and hence, its atoimc number is 33.
