Comprehension given below is followed by some multiple choice questions. Each question has one correct option. Choose the correct option. In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers which is related to the electronic configuration. Depending upon the type of orbitals receiving the last electron, the elements in the periodic table have been divided into four blocks, viz, s, p, d and f. The modern periodic table consists of 7 periods and 18 groups. Each period begins with the filling of a new energy shell. In accordance with the Arfbau principle, the seven periods (1 to 7) have 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32 and 32 elements respectively. The seventh period is still incomplete. To avoid the periodic table being too long, the two series of f-block elements, called lanthanoids and actinoids are placed at the bottom of the main body of the periodic table.

The electronic configuration of the element which is just above the element with atomic number 43 in the same group is ________.

(i) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5 4s2

(ii) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5 4s3 4p6

(iii) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d6 4s2

(iv) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d7 4s2
