Question
What are the atomic numbers of elements whose outermost electrons is represented by 3p5?
Advertisements
Solution
3p5
Completing the electron configuration of the element as
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5
∴ Number of electrons present in the atom of the element = 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 5 = 17
∴ Atomic number of the element = 17
