Which of the following statements regarding group 16 elements is not true? 2s22p4 b) The electronic configuration of Sulphur is 3s23p4 c) The atomic radii of the elements of group 16 are larger than those of the corresponding elements of group 15 d) The electronic configuration of Tellurium is 4d105s25p4

Correct Answer: He
When you move across the periodic table, from left to right, the atomic size of the respective elements decreases due to increase in nuclear charge. Therefore, the atomic radii of the elements of group 16 are smaller than those of the corresponding elements of group 15.
