Answer:
( B) They all have their valence electrons in the same type of subshell.
Explanation:
With each period, a new shell is added to the atom.
Further, the groups are classified based on the type of subshell the last electron enters and number of valence electrons.
For all elements of same group, the last electron enters the same type of subshell.
Say, for group 1, last electron enters s orbital and they have 1 valence elctron.
for group 17, last electron enters p orbital and they have 7 valence electrons.
(A) and (D) are wrong because, energy level of the valence electrons is determined by the principle quantum number n and l and not by the type of subshell(only l) they enter.
(C) if the valence electron enters p orbital, then the elements will be placed in the p- block.

A man goes to the doctor, concerned about his wife’s hearing. The doctor says, “Stand behind her and say something and tell me how close you are when she hears you.”
The man goes home, sees his wife in the kitchen, cutting carrots on the countertop. About 15 feet away he says, “Honey, what’s for dinner?” Nothing. He gets halfway to her and repeats the same question. Nothing. Very concerned, he gets right behind her and asks again “What’s for dinner?”
She turns around and says “For the THIRD time, beef stew!”

Answer:
The smallest tiny particles of matter which can't be divided further is called atom, i.e., an atom is the smallest building block of matter. For example: Sodium (Na), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), etc.
