(a)
Interpretation: The given electronic configurations of the elements have to be grouped, that represent elements with similar properties
Concept Introduction: In the periodic table the elements are grouped based on their valence electrons, so all the elements within a certain group have similar properties. Since only the valence electrons involve in bonding, reactivity of an element depends on the number of electrons present in the valence shell of the atom.

Now consider the two bicyclic molecules A. and B. Note that A. is a dianion and B. is a neutral molecule. One of these molecules is a highly reactive compound first characterized in frozen noble gas matrices, that self-reacts rapidly at temperatures above liquid nitrogen temperature. The other compound was isolated at room temperature in the early 1960s, and is a stable ligand used in organometallic chemistry. Which molecule is the more stable molecule, and why?arrow_forward
