Answer

The period number is 6. The group number is 8B.

Work Step by Step

The atomic number of Osmium is 76. The electronic configuration is $[Xe] 4f^{14}5d^{6}6s^{2}$. Here the valence shell is the sixth shell so it belongs to the sixth period. It consists of partially filled d orbitals with 6 electrons and completely filled valence shell (6s) with 2 electrons, and hence the group number is 8B.
