The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the element with atomic number 112, named Copernicium, we need to analyze the statements provided about this element and identify which one is incorrect. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Period and Group of Copernicium - **Atomic Number**: 112 - **Position in Periodic Table**: - The element with atomic number 112 is located in the 7th period of the periodic table. - The elements in the periodic table are arranged in periods (horizontal rows) and groups (vertical columns). ### Step 2: Determine the Block of Copernicium - **Block**: - Elements in the periodic table are categorized into s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block. - Copernicium (Cn) is a d-block element because it is located in the transition metals section. ### Step 3: Electronic Configuration - **Electronic Configuration**: - The electronic configuration of Copernicium can be derived from that of Radon (Rn, atomic number 86). - The configuration is: - Radon (Rn): [Rn] 5f^14 6d^10 7s^2 - This shows that Copernicium has filled the 5f and 6d orbitals. ### Step 4: Analyze the Statements Now, we will analyze the statements provided in the question: 1. It belongs to D-Block. 2. It belongs to 12th group. 3. It belongs to 6th period. 4. Its electronic configuration is [Rn] 5f^14 6d^10 7s^2. ### Step 5: Identify the Incorrect Statement - **Correct Statements**: - Statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct. - **Incorrect Statement**: - Statement 3 is incorrect because Copernicium belongs to the 7th period, not the 6th. ### Conclusion The statement that is not correct about the element Copernicium (atomic number 112) is: **It belongs to the 6th period.** ### Final Answer The answer is option 3: "It belongs to 6th period." ---
