period, and orbital block. *

[Ne]3s 3p?
aFamily
b) Period
c) Orbital block

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The electronic configuration of the element given is:

[Ne] 3s 3p

The family is the group the compound belongs on the periodic table. It is given by the number of valence electrons it contains.

The period is given by the principal quantum number. The principal quantum number is 3

The Orbital block is in the p-block
