Question:

The elements with atomic numbers 101 and 104 belong to, respectively :

Show Hint

Actinoids are Z = 90 to 103; Z = 104 (rutherfordium) is the first 6d transition element and lies below Hf in group 4.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The actinoid series runs from Th (Z = 90) to Lr (Z = 103); Z = 101 is mendelevium (Md), an actinoid.
Z = 104 is rutherfordium (Rf), the next element after Lr, which fills 6d (configuration \([\mathrm{Rn}]5f^{14}6d^2 7s^2\)); it sits below Hf, in group 4.
So the elements belong to actinoids and group 4 respectively.
Answer: (2) Actinoids and Group 4
