The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in periods (rows) based on their atomic numbers. To determine which element does not belong to the same period as the others, we need to identify the periods of the given elements:
 

  • Palladium (Pd): atomic number 46, located in period 5.
  • Iridium (Ir): atomic number 77, located in period 6.
  • Osmium (Os): atomic number 76, located in period 6.
  • Platinum (Pt): atomic number 78, located in period 6.

The elements Iridium, Osmium, and Platinum are all in period 6. Palladium, however, is in period 5, making it the element that does not belong to the same period as the others. Therefore, Palladium is the correct answer.
