Electronic configurations of four elements A, B, C and D are given below :

(A) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

(B) 1s² 2s² 2p⁴

(C) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

(D) 1s² 2s² 2p⁵

Which of the following is the correct order of increasing tendency to gain electron :

Comprehension given below is followed by some multiple choice questions. Each question has one correct option.

Choose the correct option. In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers which is related to the electronic configuration. Depending upon the type of orbitals receiving the last electron, the elements in the periodic table have been divided into four blocks, viz, s, p, d and f. The modern periodic table consists of 7 periods and 18 groups. Each period begins with the filling of a new energy shell. In accordance with the Arfbau principle, the seven periods (1 to 7) have 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32 and 32 elements respectively. The seventh period is still incomplete. To avoid the periodic table being too long, the two series of f-block elements, called lanthanoids and actinoids are placed at the bottom of the main body of the periodic table.

The electronic configuration of the element which is just above the element with atomic number 43 in the same group is ________.
