The atomic numbers of three elements A, 8 and C are 11, 17 and 19 respectively. State giving reason which out of two elements will show similar chemical properties.
The electronic configuration of the elements will be as follows:
A: 2,8,1
B: 2,8, 7
C: 2,8, 8,1
Since elements A and C have same no. of valence electrons i.e. 1, so they will show similar chemical properties.
