Q. The electronic configuration of four elements are given below. Which elements does not belong to the same family as others?

Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

Solution:

Elements (a), (b) and (d) belong to the same group since each one of them has two electrons in the s sub shell. In contrast, element (c) has seven electrons in the valence shell and hence does not lie in the same group in which elements (a), (b) and (d) lie
