halogens
The elements with the electron configurations that end in ns 2 and np 5 are halogens, group VII A elements.
The elements with electron configurations that end in ns 2 and np 5 are found in Group 17 of the periodic table, known as the halogens. This group includes elements such as fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At).
The column that contains elements whose electron configuration ends with d4 is the "transition metals" column. Transition metals have partially filled d orbitals in their electron configurations, typically with the d orbitals being filled first before the s and p orbitals.
The elements with electron configurations ending in ns2 np5 are the halogens in group 17 of the periodic table: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At).
Groups 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 in the periodic table have electron configurations that end with 1 electron in the p-block. These groups include elements such as Boron (Group 13), Carbon (Group 14), Nitrogen (Group 15), Oxygen (Group 16), and Fluorine (Group 17).

Electron configurations that end with d2 electrons can typically be found in transition metals like chromium (Cr) and copper (Cu). These elements exhibit unique electron configurations due to the stability associated with half-filled or fully filled d orbitals. For example, chromium ends with 3d^5 4s^1 and copper ends with 3d^10 4s^1 configurations.

Groups 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 in the periodic table have electron configurations that end with 1 electron in the p-block. These groups include elements such as Boron (Group 13), Carbon (Group 14), Nitrogen (Group 15), Oxygen (Group 16), and Fluorine (Group 17).
Group numbers are used in the periodic table to indicate the number of valence electrons in an element. The generic outer electron configuration for a neutral atom can be determined by looking at the group number: Group 1 elements have 1 valence electron and end in s1, group 2 elements have 2 valence electrons and end in s2, group 13 elements end in s2p1, etc.
All elements in group 1 have 1 valence electron.
Lithium, sodium, potassium, and rubidium all belong to Group 1 of the periodic table, known as the alkali metals. They all have one valence electron in their outer energy level, giving them similar electron configurations where the outer electron is in the s orbital. Specifically, their electron configurations end in s¹.
The common characteristic of the electron configurations of Ne (Neon) and Ar (Argon) is that they both have completely filled s and p orbitals in their outer energy levels. Ne has the electron configuration 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 and Ar has the electron configuration 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6. Both elements are in the noble gas group, which means they are stable and less likely to form chemical bonds.
Elements in Group 4 end their electron configurations with 4s2 4p2. This is because they have 4 valence electrons, with the last two electrons occupying the s-subshell (4s) and the p-subshell (4p) completing the outermost energy level.
Elements in Group 2 of the periodic table will have an electron configuration that ends in s2. This group includes elements such as beryllium, magnesium, and calcium. They have two electrons in their outermost s sublevel.
