Which of these elements is a noble gas? hydrogen (H) barium (Ba) nitrogen (N) krypton (Kr) bromine (Br)
Krypton...it is based off of its location on the periodic table
Answer : The correct option is krypton (Kr).
Explanation :
Noble gas : It is a group which is present at last in the periodic table and they belongs to group 18.
The general electronic configuration of noble gas is \((ns^2np^6)\).
The noble gas contains six elements which are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.
According to the question,
The general electronic configuration of hydrogen is \((ns^1)\).
The general electronic configuration of barium is \((ns^2)\).
The general electronic configuration of nitrogen is \((ns^2np^3)\).
The general electronic configuration of bromine is \((ns^2np^5)\).
The general electronic configuration of krypton is \((ns^2np^6)\).
Therefore, the correct answer is krypton (Kr).
