The electronic configuration of an atom ...

The electronic configuration of an atom X is `1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(6)3p^(6)3d^(10)4s^(2)4p^(4)`.
The chemistry of X is, therefore likely to be similar to that of:

A

Boron

B

Oxygen

C

Nitrogen

D

Chlorine

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
It belongs to oxygen family having similar electronic configuration `ns^(2),np^(4)`.
