To determine the correct order among the given elements from the periodic table, let’s examine the provided sequences:
1. [tex]\( \text{Ar} > \text{Al} > \text{P} > \text{S} \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( \text{S} > \text{P} > \text{Al} > \text{Ar} \)[/tex]
3. [tex]\( \text{Ar} > \text{S} > \text{P} > \text{Al} \)[/tex]
4. [tex]\( \text{Al} > \text{P} > \text{S} > \text{Ar} \)[/tex]
From the periodic table sequence, the elements should be listed as:
[tex]\[
\text{Al} \quad (\text{Aluminum}), \quad \text{P} \quad (\text{Phosphorus}), \quad \text{S} \quad (\text{Sulfur}), \quad \text{Ar} \quad (\text{Argon})
\][/tex]
We need to identify which of the four given sequences correctly follows the order of elements in the periodic table. The periodic table arranges elements based on increasing atomic numbers. Here, the atomic numbers are:
- Aluminum (Al): 13
- Phosphorus (P): 15
- Sulfur (S): 16
- Argon (Ar): 18
The correct increasing order based on atomic numbers should be:
[tex]\[
\text{Al} < \text{P} < \text{S} < \text{Ar}
\][/tex]
So, considering this order, we can see the correct sequence is indeed:
[tex]\[
\text{Al} > \text{P} > \text{S} > \text{Ar}
\][/tex]
This matches the 4th given sequence.
Therefore, the correct order is [tex]\( \text{Al} > \text{P} > \text{S} > \text{Ar} \)[/tex], which is the 4th option in the given list. Thus, the correct position of this sequence in the options list is position 4.
