    The electronic configuration in the outermost  shell of halogens is

    A) \[{{s}^{2}}{{p}^{4}}\]                                     

    B)  \[{{s}^{2}}{{p}^{5}}\]              

    C)  \[{{s}^{2}}{{p}^{3}}\]                                    

    D)  \[{{s}^{2}}{{p}^{6}}\]         

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    All of these halogen have seven electrons in their outer shell. The electronic configuration of the valence shell in the ground state being\[n{{s}^{2}}n{{p}^{5}}\]. \[_{9}F=1{{s}^{2}},\underbrace{2{{s}^{2}}\,2{{p}^{5}}}_{{}}\]                 \[_{17}Cl=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},\underbrace{3{{s}^{2}}\,3{{p}^{5}}}_{{}}\]          \[_{35}Br=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{10}},\underbrace{4{{s}^{2}}4{{p}^{5}}}_{{}}\]     \[_{53}I=[Xe]\underbrace{4{{f}^{14}}}_{{}}\underbrace{5{{d}^{10}}}_{{}}\underbrace{6{{s}^{2}}\,6{{p}^{5}}}_{{}}\]
