To what group in the periodic table would an element with atomic number 114 belong?

Solution

The element with atomic number 114 is Flerovium, which is a super heavy artificial chemical element with symbol Fl. The electron Configuration of Flerovium is [Rn] 5f¹⁴ 6d¹⁰ 7s² 7p2. Flerovium belongs to group 14 in the periodic table. It is belowCarbon,Silicon, Germanium, Tin and Lead. The elements of group 14 has four electrons in their valence shell, therefore having a valence electron configuration of ns²np². In case of Flerovium, the valence electron configuration is predicted to be 7s²7p².,  therefore satisfying the mentioned criteria of group 14 element.
