Noble gases
Explanation:
Electronic configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶
The element belongs to the group of the noble gases.
- The noble gases have complete outer shell configuration of their atoms.
- we can infer that the configuration above is for an element in the p-block because the last sub-level filled is the p-orbital.
- The elements therefore belongs to the p-block
- The block is from group 111A to O
- Only the halogens and noble gases fits this picture from the option.
- The outer most p-subshell have three orbitals requiring 6 electrons to fill them up.
- This makes a complete and stable configuration.
- The highest energy level of 2 is also made up of 8 electrons, an octet.
- This is why we can conclude that they are noble gases.
