The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to determine the electronic configuration based on the given general electronic configuration and the value of n. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given general electronic configuration**: The general electronic configuration provided is \((n-2)^f(1-14)(n-1)^d(0-1) ns^2\). 2. **Substitute the value of n**: We are given that \(n = 7\). We will substitute this value into the electronic configuration. - For \(n-2\): \(7-2 = 5\) - For \(n-1\): \(7-1 = 6\) Therefore, the electronic configuration becomes: \[ (5)^f(1-14)(6)^d(0-1)(7)s^2 \] 3. **Interpret the configuration**: The configuration can be rewritten as: \[ (5f)(1-14)(6d)(0-1)(7s^2) \] This indicates that we are dealing with an f-block element (since it has \(5f\)). 4. **Determine the type of f-block element**: The f-block elements are divided into two series: - Lanthanides (4f series) which correspond to \(n-2\) being 4 (when \(n=6\)). - Actinides (5f series) which correspond to \(n-2\) being 5 (when \(n=7\)). Since we have \(5f\), this indicates that the element is part of the actinide series. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the electronic configuration corresponds to an actinide element. ### Final Answer: The configuration will be of an actinide element. ---
