Here are the solutions to the questions:
g) Which element belongs to period 2 and group V.
- Period 2 indicates that the element has its valence electrons in the second energy shell.
- Group V (or Group 15) indicates that the element has 5 valence electrons.
- The element in Period 2, Group 15 is Nitrogen.
The element is Nitrogen(N).
h) Write the electronic configuration (S and P notation) of S, V and Z.
- Sulfur (S): Atomic number 16.
1s22s22p63s23p4
- Vanadium (V): Atomic number 23.
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d3
- Z: The symbol 'Z' is not a standard chemical symbol for an element. Without further clarification, its electronic configuration cannot be determined.
