• A. Halogen family, $\left[Rn\right]5f^{14}6d^{10}7s^{2}7p^5$
• B. Nitrogen family, $\left[Rn\right]5f^{14}6d^{10}7s^{2}7p^6$
• C. Oxygen family, $\left[Rn\right]5f^{14}6d^{10}7s^{2}7p^4$
• D. Carbon family, $\left[Rn\right]5f^{14}6d^{10}7s^{2}7p^2$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The element $Z=114$ has been discovered recently.

It will belong to carbon family and its electronic configuration is $\left[Rn\right]5f^{14}6d^{10}7s^{2}7p^2$. It belongs to seventh period and fourteenth group.

Hence, the correct option is $C$.
