Answer : The position of an element in the periodic table is, Group 17 and Period 3
Explanation :
The given electronic configuration is, [tex]1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5[/tex]
Total number of electrons = 17
Number of valence electrons = 2 + 5 = 7
In the given configuration, 3 is the highest principle quantum number. Therefore, it belongs to the 3rd period in the periodic table.
If the elements belongs to the p-block then we have to determine the group number by,
Group number = Number of valence electrons + 10
Group number = 7 + 10 = 17
Hence, the position of an element in the periodic table is, Group 17 and Period 3
