An element X belongs to fourth period and fifteenth group of the periodic table. Which of the following statements is true?
It has completely filled s-orbital and a partially filled d-orbital.
It has completely filled s-and p -orbitals and a partially filled d-orbital.
It has completely filled s- and p-orbitals and a half filled d-orbital.
It has a half filled p -orbital and completely filled s-and d-orbitals.
D.
It has a half filled p -orbital and completely filled s-and d-orbitals.
The element belonging to 4th period and 15th group is arsenic (As). The outer electronic configuration of 15th group element is ns2np3.
Since arsenic belongs to 4th period, therefore it has filled 'd' orbital too. Thus, the electronic configuration of As is [Ar]4s2 3d10 4p3.
So, it has filled 's' and 'd' orbital and half-filled p-orbital.
