Question
Write a scientific reason.
Boron and oxygen elements are placed in the second period in periodic table.
Advertisements
Solution
- Electronic configuration of boron is (2, 3). The electronic configuration of oxygen is (2, 6).
- Both boron and oxygen have electrons in the two shells, K and L.
- The elements with the same number of shells occupied by electrons belong to the same period.
Hence, boron and oxygen elements are placed in the second period in the periodic table.
