An element has [Ar] 3d1 configuration in its +2 oxidation state. Its position in the periodic table is

  • period - 3, group - 3

  • penod - 3, group - 7

  • period - 4, group - 3

  • period - 3, group - 9


C.

period - 4, group - 3

Electronic configuration of the element in +2 oxidation state is [Ar] 3d1. This electronic configuration is obtained after losing 2 electrons.

 Atomic number of the element

= Atomic number of Ar + 1 + 2

= 18 + 1 + 2

= 21

Thus, element is Scandium. It is a d-block element. The electronic configuration of Sc = [Ar] 3d1 4s2.

Here, n = 4; therefore, it belongs to 4th period.

Group = Total number of valence shell electrons = 3

So, the element belongs to period - 4 and group - 3.
