State the electronic configurations of group-$16$ elements.
The elements of group-$16$ have six electrons in their valence shell. Hence,the general valence shell electronic configuration is $ns^{2} np^{4}$.
| Element | Electronic configuration |
| $_{8}O$ | $[He] 2s^{2} 2p^{4}$ |
| $_{16}S$ | $[Ne] 3s^{2} 3p^{4}$ |
| $_{34}Se$ | $[Ar] 3d^{10} 4s^{2} 4p^{4}$ |
| $_{52}Te$ | $[Kr] 4d^{10} 5s^{2} 5p^{4}$ |
| $_{84}Po$ | $[Xe] 4f^{14} 5d^{10} 6s^{2} 6p^{4}$ |
| $_{116}Lv$ | $[Rn] 5f^{14} 6d^{10} 7s^{2} 7p^{4}$ |

View SolutionGiven below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$ : Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as $S_8$ while oxygen exists as $O_2$.
Reason $(R)$ : Oxygen forms $p \pi-p \pi$ multiple bonds with itself and other elements having small size and high electronegativity like $C, N$,which is not possible for sulphur.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
