the group : 2
periode : 6
block = 2
atomic number = 56
We can divide the periodic system into several parts:
1. Block s: groups 1 and 2 (having a configuration of 1s-7s) consist of active metals except for H (non-metals) and He (noble gases)
2. Block p: group 13-18 (has a 2p-6p configuration), also called a representative element because it includes metals, non-metals and metalloids
3. Block d: group 3-12 (having the 3d-6d configuration), are transition metal elements
4. Block f: Lanthanides and Actinides (having a 4f-5f configuration), are inner transition elements that are also metal
The element with the electron configuration : [Xe]6s²
The outer shell 6s² :
Electron configuration :
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s² : electron =56
group⇒valence electron ⇒2
period⇒the greatest value of the quantum number n⇒6
The element that is in period 6, and belongs to group 2 and has the atomic number 56 and in the block s
