Question

What Element am I?

I have 6 Valence Electrons.
I am in the third row.
My atomic mass is less than Selenium , but it is more than Oxygen. I need the answer ASAP

Answer 1

The correct answer is - sulfur.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the periodic table, there are 18 groups and 7 rows or periods arranged according to their atomic number or electronic configuration. In the question, it is mentioned that the desired element atomic mass is less than the atomic mass of the selenium which is 78.96, and more than oxygen which is 15.99 with 6 electron valence and present in the third row.

As it has 6 valency of electron it must be in the 16 group of the table that comprises the 6 valency and as it is located in the 3rd row it must be sulfur that also has an atomic mass between selenium and oxygen.
