The element with electronic configuration of 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁴ is sulphur (S)
The correct answer to the question is Option C. S
Electronic configuration is simply defined as the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.
With the electronic configuration of an element, we can obtain the name of the element by simply obtaining the total number of electrons in the shells and comparing it with those in the periodic table.
From the question given above,
Electronic configuration => 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁴
Name of element =?
Total electron = 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 4 = 16
Thus, the element has 16 electrons. This is assumed to be atomic number of the element.
Comparing the atomic number of the element (i.e 16) with those in the periodic table, the element is Sulphur with the symbol S.
Therefore, the element with electronic configuration of 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁴ is sulphur (S)
Option C. S gives the correct answer to the question.
