Question:
Regarding the nth period element whose position is indicated below with an “X”, which statement(s) are correct?
(a) The element is a representative nonmetal.
(b) The element is a transition metal.
(c) The element is in the p block.
(d) The element is in the d block.
(e) The valence electron configuration is ns2(n – 1)d3.
(f) The valence electron configuration is nd5.
(g) The valence electron configuration is (n – 1)d4.

Step by Step Answer:
The correct statements are c The element is in the p block f The valence electron configuration is nd5 The element X is in the p block because it is in column 5 of the periodic table The p block contains the representative elements so the element X is a representative nonmetal The valence electron configuration of the element X is nd5 because it is in group 5 of the periodic table The incorrect statements are a The element is a representative nonmetal This statement is correct b The element is a transition metal This statement is incorrect because the element X is in the p block not the d block d The element is in the d block This statement is incorrect because the element X is in the p block not the d block e The valence electron configuration is ns2n 1d3 This statement is incorrect because the valence electron configuration of the element X is nd5 not ns2n 1d3 g The valence electron configuration is n ...View the full answer
