  1. It has a completely filled s-orbital and a partially filled d-orbital.

  2. It has completely filled s-and p-orbitals and a partially filled d-orbital.

  3. It has completely filled s-and p-orbitals and a half-filled d-orbital.

  4. It has a half-filled p-orbital and completely filled s-and d-orbitals.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Group 15 has a valence shell electronic configuration of $ns^2np^5$ and period $=4$$ means its $n=4$

thus electronic configuration of element $X$  is $4s^24p^3$

Elements of Group 15 and period 2 onwards are: $N, P, As, Sb, Bi$

Thus $X$ is Arsenic ($As$) and has electronic configuration of: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^3$. 

Thus, $s$ and $d-$orbitals are fully-filled and $p-$orbital is half-filled.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{D}$

Which of the following is an artificial element made by man?

  1. Gallium

  2. Iron

  3. Helium

  4. Americium

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
In chemistry, a synthetic element is a chemical element that does not occur naturally on Earth, and can only be created artificially. So far, 24 synthetic elements have been created (those with atomic numbers 95–118). Americium is one of them having atomic no. 95.

Hence, the answer is option $D$.
