Determine `Z/6` If the atomic number of an inert gas atom in which the total number of d-electrons is equal to the difference in the number of total p and s electrons is Z.

Answer

6

Explanation

D electrons = total p. electron.s - totals electrons
Inert gas config
`=1S^(2)S^(2)2p^(6)3S^(2)3p^(6)4S^(2)3d^(10)4p^(6)`
So atomic number of inert gas is = 36
z = 36
`z/6 = 36/6 = 6`
