Question

What is the electron configuration [Xe] 5d¹⁰ 6s² 6p²?
Options
A A representative element in the p-block
Correct Answer
B A transition element in the d-block
C An inner transition element in the f-block
D A noble gas
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The configuration [Xe] 5d¹⁰ 6s² 6p² shows that the last electrons are in the 6p subshell. Elements with electrons filling p subshells are p-block elements, which are classified as representative (main group) elements.

Hint

Identify the subshell where the last electrons are added to classify the element.
