Answer: The group of elements that corresponds to the electronic configuration [tex]\text{[noble gas] }ns^0(n-1)d^{10}np^1[/tex] is group 13.
Explanation:
Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons in a given atom.
Valence electrons are defined as the electrons present in the outermost shell or the sub-shell having highest value of 'n'.
We are given:
General electronic configuration = [tex]\text{[noble gas] }ns^0(n-1)d^{10}np^1[/tex]
where,
n = principal quantum number and is determines the energy level of the sub-shell
The number of valence electrons in the configuration are = 2 + 1 = 3
And, as the last electron is entering the p-subshell, so the element is a p-block element.
The given electronic configuration is of group 13 elements.
Hence, the group of elements that corresponds to the electronic configuration [tex]\text{[noble gas] }ns^0(n-1)d^{10}np^1[/tex] is group 13.
