The question is in complete, the complete question is:
Which element has an outer electron configuration of s
2
p4
?
(A) Ca (B) Cr (C) Ge (D) Se
Answer:
(D) Se
Explanation:
The outer electronic configuration of an atom reflects the group to which it belongs in the periodic table. Each group has its unique outermost electron configuration and number of electrons found in the outermost shell of the atoms of elements in the group.
s
2
p4 is the unique outermost electron configuration of group 16 elements. Group 16 elements have six electrons in their outermost shell. If we consider the options, only Se is a member of group 16. Hence it is only Se that has the outermost electron configuration s
2
p4
.
