Which of the following characterizations for the element ₂₃V is correct? A) a period 4 element B) electron configuration ends in d³ C) an inner-transition element D) more than one correct response E) no correct response

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

- ₂₃V has 23 total electrons, which corresponds to a period 3 element. - The electron configuration ends in d³, which is incorrect because d-orbitals are not present in the ground state electron configuration of any element in period 3. - ₂₃V cannot be an inner-transition element because its electron configuration does not have any partially filled f-orbitals. Therefore, D is the best choice because there is more than one incorrect statement about the element.
