B - O =

C - Fe =

Answer 1

Answer: A-: Mg BELONGS TO Group 2, B:- O belongs to Group 16 and C-: Fe belongs to Group 8

Step-by-step explanation:

A - Mg:

Electronic distribution: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

Group in the periodic table: Magnesium (Mg) belongs to Group 2 (or Group IIA), also known as the alkaline earth metals group.

B - O:

Electronic distribution: 1s² 2s² 2p⁴

Group in the periodic table: Oxygen (O) belongs to Group 16 (or Group VIA), also known as the chalcogens.

C - Fe:

Electronic distribution: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁶

Group in the periodic table: Iron (Fe) belongs to Group 8 (or Group VIIIB), also known as the transition metals.
