Is 5s2 5p4 in Group 17 and Period 6 on a Different Periodic Table?

In summary, the valence shell electronic configuration of 5s2 5p4 corresponds to the element tellurium, which is located in group 16 and period 5 on the normal periodic table. However, on the long form of the periodic table, this configuration corresponds to an element that is not present in either group 16 or 17, and may be in group 6 and period 17. The long form of the periodic table is different from the normal periodic table.

Homework Statement


In the long form of periodic table, the valence shell electronic configuration of 5s2 5p4 corresponds to the element present in
A. Group 16 and period 5
B. Group 17 and period 6
C. Group 17 and period 5
D. Group 16 and period 6

Homework Equations


NA

The Attempt at a Solution


I know in normal periodic table 5s2 5 p4 corresponds to tellurium which is in group 16 and period 5.
Don't know why the answer is group 17 and period 6 ?
I think the long form of periodic table is same as normal periodic table.

No idea what they mean, 5/16 looks OK to me.

Long periodic table doesn't contain group 16 nor 17, so it is different.

Thanks.
I am challenging the guys who said 6/17 is correct.
 

1. What is a Different Periodic Table?

A Different Periodic Table is an alternative version of the traditional periodic table, which is organized by atomic number and chemical properties. The Different Periodic Table arranges elements in a different way, such as by their electron configuration or physical properties.

2. How is the Different Periodic Table organized?

The Different Periodic Table can be organized in a variety of ways, depending on the specific version. Some examples include organizing elements by their atomic mass, electron configuration, or even by their biological function. Each version has its own unique way of organizing the elements.

3. What is the purpose of a Different Periodic Table?

The purpose of a Different Periodic Table is to offer an alternative way of organizing and understanding the elements. By arranging the elements in a different way, it can provide new insights and perspectives on their properties and behaviors.

4. How many Different Periodic Tables are there?

There are countless Different Periodic Tables that have been proposed and created by scientists and educators. Each one offers a unique perspective and can be used for different purposes.

5. Are the element properties the same in all Different Periodic Tables?

No, the element properties can vary in different versions of the Periodic Table. This is because the organization of the table can affect the way we perceive and understand these properties. However, the basic properties of elements, such as their atomic number and symbol, remain the same in all versions.
