Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the layout of the periodic table: Groups are the vertical columns numbered from 1 to 18 (or sometimes labeled with letters), and Periods are the horizontal rows numbered from 1 to 7.
Identify Group 3B: In older IUPAC or traditional labeling, Group 3B corresponds to Group 3 in the modern numbering system, which includes elements like Scandium (Sc) and Yttrium (Y).
Identify Period 4: This is the fourth horizontal row of the periodic table, which contains elements with electrons filling the 4th energy level.
Locate the element that is both in Group 3B (Group 3) and Period 4: This means finding the element in the intersection of the third group column and the fourth period row.
Recognize that Scandium (Sc) is the element located in Group 3B and Period 4, as Titanium (Ti) and Vanadium (V) are in Period 4 but different groups, and Yttrium (Y) is in Group 3B but Period 5.
