See the answer below....

Explanation:

There is a rule to predict the group and period of an element by its ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION...

For S Block elements:-

  • Last electronic configuration:- #color(red)(n"S"^(1-2)# where #n=1,2,3...#
  • Group of the element:- #(color(green)(1-2))# for #S^1# is #1# and for #S^2# is #2#.
  • Period:-the value of #color(red)(n#

For P Block elements:-

  • Last electronic configuration:- #color(red)(n"S"^2n"P"^(1-6))# where #n=1,2,3...#
  • Group of the element:- 1) for #color(red)(n=1#, group is #color(red)(13#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhhdQ#2) for #color(red)(n=2#, group is #color(red)(14#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhhdQ#3) for #color(red)(n=3#, group is #color(red)(15#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhhdQ#4) for #color(red)(n=4#, group is #color(red)(16#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhhdQ#5) for #color(red)(n=5#, group is #color(red)(17#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhhdQ#6) for #color(red)(n=6#, group is #color(red)(18#
  • Period:-the value of #color(red)(n#

For D Block elements:-

  • Last electronic configuration:- #color(red)((n-1)"D"^(1-10)n"S"^(2 or, 1# where #n=1,2,3...#
  • Group of the element:-
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhdQ#1) for #color(red)(n=1#, group is #color(red)3#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhdQ#2) for #color(red)(n=2#, group is #color(red)(4#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhdQ#3) for #color(red)(n=3#, group is #color(red)(5#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhdQ#4) for #color(red)(n=4#, group is #color(red)(6#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhdQ#5) for #color(red)(n=5#, group is #color(red)(7#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhdQ#6) for #color(red)(n=6#, group is #color(red)(8#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhdQ#7) for #color(red)(n=7#, group is #color(red)(9#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhdQ#8) for #color(red)(n=8#, group is #color(red)(10#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhdQ#9) for #color(red)(n=9#, group is #color(red)(11#
    #color(white)(QQQQQQQQQQQhhhhhdQ#10) for #color(red)(n=10#, group is #color(red)(12#
  • Period:-the value of #color(red)(n#

For F Block elements:-

  • Last electronic configuration:- #color(red)((n-2)"F"^(1-14)(n-1)"D"^(0-1)n"S"^2# where #n=1,2,3...#
  • Group of the element:- always #color(red)(3# because these elements are inner transitional elements...
  • Period of the element:- the value of #color(red)(n#

Hope it helps...

See the rules I have written...
Let's answer...

Explanation:

#6"S"^2 5"D"^1" 4F"^3# is an #F# block element which has a electronic configuration of #F# block element. It is of #color(red)(3# no. group..

Hope it helps...
Thank you...
