Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
The element X belongs to
=> Period 3 (Because it's valence shell is 3)
=> Group VI (Because electrons in the valence shell , 2+4 = 6)
The element X can be deduced to:
a. belongs to group VI in the periodic table
It is the arrangement of elements in the order of increasing atomic number.
Given Electronic configuration of element X:[tex]1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^4[/tex].This element has an atomic number 16. The element having atomic number 16 is Sulphur. It belongs to: Period 3 (Because it's valence shell is 3)Group VI (Because electrons in the valence shell , 2+4 = 6)Thus, Element X belongs to group VI.
Therefore, correct option is a.
