The element, with atomic number 118, will be

Options

(a) alkali
(b) noble gas
(c) lanthanide
(d) transition element

Correct Answer:

noble gas

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of element with atomic number 118 will be [Rn]5f¹⁴6d¹°7s²7p⁶. Since its electronic configuration in the outer most orbit (ns²np⁶) resemble with that of inert or noble gases, therefore it will be noble gas element
