Element 'E' belongs to period 4 and group 16 of the periodic table. The valence shell electron configuration of the element which is just above 'E' in the group is:
- a
- b
- c✓
- d
🧠 Group 16, Period 4 is Selenium — one step up is Sulfur Period 4, Group 16 = Selenium (Se). The element directly above it in the same group is Sulfur (S), Period 3.
🗺️ Write the valence config of S Sulfur (): full config . Valence shell = .
⚠️ Common mistake Option (b) shows — that is Se itself, not the element above it.
