Which is mismatched regarding the position of the element as given below?
(A) X(Z=89)X\left( {Z = 89} \right) f-block, 6th{6^{th}} period
(B)   Y(Z=100)\;Y\left( {Z = 100} \right) f-block, 7th{7^{th}} period
(C)   Z(Z=115)\;Z\left( {Z = 115} \right) d-block, 7th{7^{th}} period
(D) Both 11 and 33

Explanation

Solution

Chemical elements were arranged in the periodic table, which is divided into four blocks namely s, p, d, and f blocks. The f-block elements are nothing but lanthanides with atomic numbers 5757 to 7171 and actinides 8989 to 103103 . The d-block elements consist of groups from 1313 to 1818 .

Complete answer:
The periodic table is the representation of chemical elements arranged in the increasing order of atomic numbers in the vertical columns and horizontal rows. The vertical columns were known as groups and the horizontal rows were known as periods. There are a total of 77 periods and 1818 groups in the periodic table.
The atomic number with Z=89Z = 89 is actinium. The chemical symbol of actinium is AcAc , it is placed in the f-block in the 7th{7^{th}} period. Thus, the given answer is not matched.
The atomic number with Z=100Z = 100 is fermium. The chemical symbol of fermium is FmFm , it is placed in the f-block in the 7th{7^{th}} period. Thus, the given answer is matched.
The atomic number with Z=115Z = 115 is Moscovium. The chemical symbol of Moscovium is McMc , it is placed in the p-block but not d-block in the 7th{7^{th}} period. Thus, the given answer is not matched.
Thus, both 11 and 33 are mismatched regarding the position of the element.
Option 44 is the correct one.

Note:
Actinium has the atomic number of 8989 . The last electron enters into d-block only, but not f-orbital. as the f-block is started before filling up the d-block. The element actinium is placed in actinide series i.e., in f-block. Sometimes, it is placed in d-block only.
