Write the general valence configuration (for example, n s 1 for Group 1) for the group in which each of the fallowing elements is found.

barium, Z = 56

bromine, Z = 35

tellurium, Z = 52

potassium, Z = 19

sulfur, Z = 16

(a)

Interpretation:

The general electronic configuration for the group in which the given element found is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

The distribution of the electrons that exists in the atomic orbital of an atom is collectively known as electronic configuration. The description of every electron in an orbital is given by the electronic configuration of that atom. Each group has its general configuration based upon the valence electron present in the element of that group.

The electronic configuration of the given element with Z=56 is Xe6s2

(b)

Interpretation:

The general electronic configuration for the group in which the given element found is to be stated.
