Period 5; Group 0

The correct answer is Period 5; Group 0. The atom has valence shell n = 5, hence it belongs to Period 5. In the valence shell, there are 2+6 = 8 valence electrons, hence the atom has a stable octet configuration and we know that this is a noble gas, and a noble gas belongs to Group 0 Group 0 elements are also known as Group 18 elements.
